Excerpt from the text «Caminar para entender, caminar para recordar» (To walk in order to understand, to walk in order to remember), written by Zahira Dehn Tutosaus and Ivana Pinna within the curatorial project <eye-framing=OM7> (working group On Mediation/7, with the collaboration of La Capella). The original is in Spanish and the full essay is at eyeframing-om7.net; this English version is an AI translation for my personal archive.

The text analyses the importance of physical/bodily displacement to a specific place within the context of memory and history, taking as its starting point the works En frontera by Marco Noris (2017) and La memoria interior by María Ruido (2002).

In this sense, walking becomes a practice, a peripatetic, itinerant, wandering act, in movement. The term peripatetic (from the Greek peripatêín, to stroll) arises from the school founded by Aristotle, who used to teach while strolling with his disciples. Moving about while teaching was part of a methodology that helped students remember the discourses.
