Field Walk is a movement-based research project by The Mound that explores devotional walking as a social art practice. Through slow, time-based choreography, the work creates connections between body, landscape, and time.

Developed with invited participants across the Tweed region, the project centres on daily five-minute walks oriented toward Wollumbin. These small, repeated actions form a shared practice of ritual and devotion, a field of attention where slowwalking becomes a way of listening, sensing, and attuning to place.

For LAVA Festival, this research is presented through a collective, site-responsive activation. The work unfolds through movement, light, the presence of bodies and experimental material in space, creating a shifting environment that audiences can encounter and move through.

Rather than presenting a fixed outcome, Fieldwork invites audiences into a shared space of attention, where connection itself becomes the work.
