Titled What Is The City But The People?, it's the opening event of the Manchester International Festival, the city's biennial arts festival.
Lots of people here probably wouldn't think of 150 men, woman and children (and some dogs) walking up and down a walkway as art.
But it took an artist and an arts festival to make it happen. And it's often only artists who have the licence to make us stop, see things we hadn't spotted before, and hit us where we feel it most.
The simplicity and beauty of this event puts Jeremy Deller up there as the king of great ideas that reach into our lives and touch us.
