'In Walkthrough, I was interested in making a piece that would be anonymous. After I stopped performing I was no longer required to be a celebrity. The other part of the idea was that it would be discoverable, that anybody had the opportunity to find.
This was a transient space, but not a passage because people moved in diverse ways. The work was subtle but it was also very clear once you heard it, and this idea from Fan Music of making a process that was somehow connected to its environment. Connecting it to the weather made it flex. And there was this other idea about working with this fine level of subtlety. I could do it here because we notice change, even very small changes in a very familiar environment.
This was a piece for the people who went in and out of that subway entrance every day; it wasn't meant for the art world'.
