The artists developed an interest in hand-carved walking stick. These objects have been used as a support, a weapon and symbol for the wanderer for thousand of years. They are also among the first tools fashioned and decorated by men, anchoring them within the early history of art.After a dialogue with the Slovak woodcarver Oldrich Richter. Jankowski commissioned him to produce a new series of sticks. He shows them leaning against a wall and uses them to hold in place images illustrating the use of suck stick in different cultures and through the ages.
Each work of the series Walking Logic includes a handmade stick the allocated digital print and memory stick containing the video of the dialogo between Jankowski and the woodcarver.
