Walking as a manifestation of terrestriality brings a person back to Earth and allows us to experience adventure with all our senses. The human ability of walking reveals psychogeography as a mental relation to landscape. But  because we constantly have to decide which direction to go, it is also about contingency The installation The Human Dimension places the viewer in the imaginary center of the world and puts them in the role of a pilgrim. To travel, all you have to do is immerse yourself in the virtual and audiovisual environment of the micro- and macro-cosm of the video projection, which was created by the artist during his travels with a panoramic camera. The unusual perspective and movement through nature and the urban environment brings up the question about the "human dimension": what does it actually mean? How do we in fact relate to the world around us? We use frameworks and categories such as size, distance and temporality. Questions like “how far?” or "how long?” cast us in relation to a distant destination and prevent us from experiencing the journey itself. The installation's spacial sound environment is composed of field recordings which we hear in combination with the rhythm of steps, leading to a profound, trance-like experience.
