Moth Walk
Marius Presterud
Who stole this city’s fire?
For O.F.F. 2025 those with wanderlust and latent pyromania are invited to assemble at their local fire-pit, from where we will collectively walk blindly from one to the next.
Public fire-pits for the respective days will be announced on a running basis.
Coffee will be served to those present before we collectively move in the direction of the light.
Old flames will be rekindled or extinguished, depending on the quantity and quality of kindling we manage to harvest on our drift through the urban landscape.
Let’s wander together in spite of the city’s electric light-pollution and its attempts to make us forget our solar system’s dying neighbors.
The universe is on fire and no-one can stop us from remembering what has been taken from us, as long as we can make our own sun in the midst of the city.
