Into the Holloway, A Walk at Dusk was originally presented as a single line that formed a metaphor for a long, overnight walk. Just as in a walk, this linear character can however be reconfigured. Here, Into the Holloway is installed in a different format – think perhaps of a series of short, overlapping strolls rather than a long linear walk.
