I Can’t See Myself In This Landscape

I Can’t See Myself In This Landscape is an immersive audio walk that transports individuals through different times and spaces of Kuala Lumpur.

Poetically and playfully combining layers of history, memory, and speculation with a soundscape, the 60-minute work will guide solo walkers on an evocative journey through the city. Participants will embark on their walk at the Perdana Botanical Gardens, navigating through Jalan Parlimen toward Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad. They will stop at Dataran Merdeka, taking in its surroundings (including the Queen Victoria fountain), and end their journey where Kuala Lumpur started – overlooking the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers.

During this journey, the solo walker will time travel through the fortunes, foundations, fantasies, forces and flows that once shaped colonial and Downtown Kuala Lumpur – while paying attention to the external and the internal, observing the rhythms of the contemporary city and the pulse of their own body.

Audio walk can be downloaded here: details to be announced soon!

I Can’t See Myself In This Landscape ialah lawatan audio imersif yang membawa individu merentasi pelbagai ruang dan waktu sekitar Kuala Lumpur.

Lawatan selama 60 minit ini membawa para peserta untuk menyingkap lapisan sejarah, ingatan dan spekulasi sejarah secara puitis dan bersahaja dalam pengembaraan yang menggamit kenangan merentasi ibu kota. Peserta akan bermula dari Taman Tasik Perdana dan bergerak melalui Jalan Parlimen menuju Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad. Seterusnya, peserta akan berhenti di Dataran Merdeka dan menikmati pemandangan sekeliling (termasuk Air Pancur Ratu Victoria) dan menamatkan lawatan di titik permulaan Kuala Lumpur iaitu kuala di antara Sungai Klang dan Sungai Gombak bertemu.

Semasa lawatan berlangsung, peserta akan merentas waktu dan menyaksikan segala kekayaan, permulaan, bayangan, daya dan gerak-geri yang suatu masa membentuk Pusat Bandar Kuala Lumpur dan koloninya. Semua ini berlaku pada masa yang sama peserta akan memberi tumpuan kepada unsur luaran dan dalaman, merenungi detak dan denyut nadi tubuh kota dan diri.

Audio lawatan boleh dimuat turun di sini: maklumat lanjut akan datang!
