𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞 & 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞 is BONFIRE.AIR’s seven-day online residency with two participants; created in order to promote free exchange and daily interaction.
BONFIRE proposes the matches, prepares a mutual presentation and offers guidance and tools for the week, providing the opportunity to engage in a creative and productive dialogue.

The pairing for this programme is London-based multidisciplinary artist KH del Río and freelance musician/artist Gordon Lewis from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Their week-long exchange is an epistolary relationship through free writing, spoken word, music and moving images.  A series of five videos and their corresponding five soundtracks made with four hands and two voices is the incredible result of their sharing. A journey tinged with the Beat spirit, a path of deep reflections and dualities embodied in a fantastic collaboration full of experimentation and freshness. Seven days, one life.

Walk & Talk allowed me as an artist to really redefine my practice, giving into the process of sharing and exchanging I feel that I have rediscovered the joy and magic that is creating art. Gordon and I have been able to connect through the exploration of themes that are both relevant and resonant for both of us and in that, create something that feels really exciting. Such a rich experience packed into such little time!»
