Walking Questions
by Helena Ospina Lizarralde
Limited edition of 50
Screenprint on natural cotton
Various sizes available
Walking Questions is an extended publishing laboratory and ongoing project that puts ideas into motion through wearable questions. This limited-edition run, made in collaboration with ReRouting, explores the invented term Fragenstellungkleidung alongside the question: “To walk away or to walk forward?”
Fragenstellungkleidung is a made-up word inspired by the German practice of compounding words to create new ones. Its deliberate linguistic awkwardness reflects the uncertainty contained in the question posed.
The question speaks to experiences of migration and our relationship to place, while also opening onto broader questions of choice and circumstance. The routes we take can be shaped by decisions we make, as well as by conditions beyond our control.
This is an invitation to wear the tshirt, take it for a walk, and see what answers come to you en route.
These tshirts were screenprinted at Et. al Press, Berlin.

About the artist:
Helena Ospina Lizarralde is an interdisciplinary artist and writer (b. Colombia). Working across relational projects, installations, sculpture, writing, and the publication of artist books, she often begins with a question and constructs a situation around it. Questions appear in public space, generate conversations and archives, inhabit objects and publications, or become environments that invite participation. Through these gestures, questioning becomes both a method and a material.
