In September 2020, we recreated the path the German philosopher Walter Benjamin traveled while fleeing Nazism in the same month of 1940. A journey from the French town of Banyuls-sur-Mer to Portbou, where he committed suicide a few days after his arrival.
The result is a publication that explores the experience of walking as an artistic, commemorative, and emotional practice. It proposes a poetic and psychological dialogue with the territory, between the invisible and the experiential, revealing the presence of Walter Benjamin alongside other people who crossed the border during exile.
