Nightwalker

Artist: Susan Schuppli

Date: July 7 to 23, 1994

Artist's Lecture: July 8  

The Nightwalker installation consisted of a series of images, walking words and poetic narratives. The installation was based on the artist's experience of walking through the cities of Vancouver and San Diego at night.

"As women, we have an inherent right to be out on the streets at night. Choosing that right does not make us aware of the risks that such activity entails. On the contrary, it demonstrates the unacceptable alternative, which is to be held prisoner within our own domestic space."
