Bedwyr Williams’s Walk A Mile In My Shoes lets visitors try on 40 shoes in a size 13, painstakingly tracked down and displayed on a wallbased rack.The Welsh artist, who is also a comedian, said: “This work is about an aspect of my life that has ruined walking trips, beach holidays, weddings and football games. I have size 13 feet. Since I was 18 I have struggled with shoe availability.”Having got size 13 feet myself. Let me tell you getting 40 pairs in the same place is an incredible achievement.
