Marcel Odenbach: Auf Schritt und Tritt (At Every Step) at IMAI Foundation

"The two-channel video work Auf Schritt und Tritt (At Every Step) arose during Marcel Odenbach’s extended stay in New York in the mid-1990s. It reflects his intensive engagement with racism in the USA, including within the gay scene.

For the video recording, he had a camera built that could film him walking from above, while a microphone embedded into the sole of his shoe recorded the sound of his steps and surrounds. Thus equipped, he moved through the historically significant 125th street of Harlem, a center of Afro-American culture and at the same time an important site for the civil rights movement." - IMAI
