With the project Water Walker I started 2004 a series of investigations on walking on water. It is a performative project, which is part utopian vision, part playful commentary on transportation technologies. Inspired by the mythodology of walking on water, combined with the opportunity for a sustainable humanpowered vehicle, allowing to cross watersides.
