Corridor Walk
Corridor Walk is a single take looking down at my feet pacing the length of a corridor in
Manhattan Psychiatric Centre. My voice counts the steps in an attempt to measure its length.
Perhaps I¹m trying to measure myself in relation to the building; trying to comprehend its scale,
which seems in a different register to mine. It feels out of scale both physically and emotionally,
too big to establish any sense of myself.
