Lundy walking scores

As part of my MA in Fine Art, I’m delving into the sensory connections we form with places through the simple act of walking. This project, in particular, revolves around the concept of following “scores” – participatory instructions designed to offer fresh perspectives on engaging with Lundy.

Even if you’re a regular visitor to Lundy, embarking on these scores with others fosters new “shared acts of sensing.” Venturing through the scores may lead you to familiar spots, yet offer entirely new perspectives. You might uncover aspects of a place that previously escaped your notice. ‘This collective experience has the potential to reintroduce us to familiar terrain, prompting a re -evaluation of our relationship with the surroundings’ (Bush, 2020).

Many of these scores are adapted from the works of walking artists, whose references I’ve included below for further exploration.

While physical copies of the score books are available at the church on Lundy, I’ve also provided a downloadable PDF for your convenience. I hope that you will take part.

As this is for a University project I would be greatful if you could upload photos and feedback when you have taken part in some of the scores. The link to the feedback form is below
