Womb Walk


I walk the city with prosthetic belly, talking out loud to my virtual baby, describing everything I see. You remotely join the walk as baby, listening to my voice. You control my movements by triggering small internal kicks to the sides of my belly directing me when to turn. Together, we navigate the city, with imagined baby as interface.



Performed at Sundance Film Festival and IDFA DocLab.
Prosthetic design and fabrication by Paul Esposito.
