›The One Who Walks‹ is a key female character in Carlo Lizzani’s contribution to the Neorealist anthology film L’amore in città from 1953. Cortiñas uses this character, an ageing prostitute, as the nucleus of an associative montage of self-filmed material, found footage and fragile sculptural constructions. With the help of this construct, the film-maker questions her own role as a self-responsible individual, as a working-class child, a woman, a daughter and as an artist.
