Walk to Work - CHONGQING

CHONGQING
Walk to Work
paul conneally & kevin ryan 2007

I asked artist Kevin Ryan to map out his normal route to work in Loughborough UK as a series of LEFTS RIGHTS and STRAIGHTS and to then transpose this journey to Chongqing in China where Kev was visiting on a British Council funded visit exploring the sharing of approaches to art and do some work where ever he ended up.

So one morning Kev set of to 'walk to work' in Chongqing on reaching his 'work destination' Kev went about photographing the area doing about 2 hours work. Click on the image below to take you to Chongqing 'Walk to Work' slide show:
Kev's thoughts / context can be found here: CHONGQING WALK TO WORK

This is the first piece to came out of 'Walk to Work' more pieces have followed / will follow as walks are gathered from around the world and transposed to different parts of the world. A major new 'Walk to Work' piece 'Invigilator' with artist Nikki Pugh is currently in process.

Twenty Jaffa Cakes

a rengay


twenty jaffa cakes
a mistake to try and take
in her hand luggage


a slow and silent pat down
from the woman on gate one


stilettoes x-rayed
but her carbon footprint is
not for scrutiny


a hugely fat man
asks for the front port aisle seat
to rest his bad leg



smile and permanent jetlag
slept in uniform again

deep into morning
i finish my book somewhere
over africa

a forest of still green

cutting

cutting his throat
with her mobile phone
the morning sun
