Stefaan van Biesen´s exploration of the (urban human) space, by means of walking as a sensorial and kinesthesic experience, joins a recent scientific and aesthetical development, the Spaziergangwissenschaft (the science of walking or promenadology), introduced in the nineties at the University of Kassel in Germany by the sociologist and urbanologist Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003). The promenadology implies the participation of residents, in a kinesthesic aesthetics, with small or as small as possible interventions in the urban fabric. Walking becomes an observing stimulus related to space. A cognitive dimension of the urban space articulates itself in a personalized urban layer, by means of a somatic choreography.
“The body as a motor is, in this way, a map-making body: the places where it passes through, there it organizes itself as a map. And the map, revealing the body through the places where it passed, appears as a metaphor of knowledge (of the relation between body and place). “ (Paulo Silva, O Lugar do Corpo)
Stefaan van Biesen is one of the important artists, at an international level, who investigates promenadology on an aesthetical way (by means of plastic work, multimedia, installations and performances, contextualized in social projects).
His artistic oeuvre has an affinity with the work of another famous walker, Fernando Pessoa. The plastic corpus of Stefaan van Biesen is an important artistic comment on a Pessoa-logical vision. We integrate for example his oeuvre in a critical analysis of the literary representation of the city of Lisbon, which leads to a joint project with the artist: the project “White walk” (2014-2015), an artistic and literary research of Lisbon by means of the phenomenology of the walk.
