Making Space: A Flâneur’s Place-Based Paper Collages
by Jeremy Shellhorn
A flâneur is a term often associated with a person who strolls or wanders, observing life and their surroundings with a detached yet keen interest. The concept of the flâneur originated in 19th-century France and is seen as an individual who finds pleasure and inspiration in the act of observing one’s environment. Jeremy’s adventure project, “Making Space”, aims to celebrate these inspirational spaces where we can wander and where we can let our minds wander. The project is interested in including people who go outside and are not as inclined or able to bike, run, hike…Doesn’t matter how many steps you took, how many miles, how many calories burned or what your “time” is. The adventure definition I am expressing is one who goes outside and sees.
