(Actually, Danny Cohen says): I wanted to make walking fun. For it to look effortless, adventurous and romantic - but all through a pair of fingers. So the search for the right pair of fingers began. I auditioned more than two hundred pairs. Film and TV stars were asking to play the role but they were acting too much with it. Finally I found the right pair on a man called Justin. The lady fingers are Helen's, she's the H in HLA, the production company who made it all happen. Myself and a fine chap called Dominic made all the sets with paper, scissors and sticky-back plastic. Hope you like the video, and hope it makes you want to walk ... Danny

The experiment Quid Pro Quo is based on the Surrealist game, The Exquisite Corpse: a game designed on the idea of chance, in which multiple artists explore interpretations of sponateous imagery in a kind of collaborative imagination. Quid Pro Quo functions as a contemporary version of this game, in which an idea is interpreted and re-constructed, then passed on to the next player.
