I said that they can widen the path to their liking. I think I heard some hesitation in their answer. Maybe we came very close to a limit between participation and creation, if there is a division between those. Between following a line and the responsibility of shaping a line. Sure, there is a difference. But is participation limited to following some rules put up by someone else (the artist)? No, I don\u2019t think so. So they do participate when they walk the line? Yes, they participate, they contribute to the result. Do they create? Yes, they consciously shape the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe there is no division\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/thewanderersdilemma.bjornwangen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2I3A5148.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewanderersdilemma.bjornwangen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2I3A5148.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thewanderersdilemma.bjornwangen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2I3A5148-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>About visibility<br>Due to the heavy rain the vegetation is growing fast and strong. I like it when the path is just grass laying down instead of a muddy trail with grass at the sides. And I want to avoid doing unnecessary damage to the plants I step on. When I saw the site for the first time I reacted with a thought that this place needs something big. Then I realized the opposite. This place is perfect for a piece of art which operates on a more intimate scale. There is not much going on visually in the surroundings. It is almost a white box (white box = typical gallery space for art) or rather a green box if you like. So I followed that thought about making something not so visually obvious which demands some attention from its viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/thewanderersdilemma.bjornwangen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2I3A5674.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewanderersdilemma.bjornwangen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2I3A5674.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thewanderersdilemma.bjornwangen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2I3A5674-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Barely visible<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Participation.
