In Bare Minimum (A Walk), the artist follows nine people respectively as they walk at nightfall, forging ahead with the guidance of memory or meaning. The camera trails closely, anonymity and reticence both immersed within a single movement and perspective. The distance betrays a willingness to approach, be it in following or accompanying.
