The Folded Walk

​

The map of my walk through Malmö is inspired by the common tourist map. It is an object that you can fold into different forms to make it show different parts of the path. The walk is described in pictures and words. The pictures show both overviews and details that I found in Malmö. The words describes further what I saw, felt, smelled, heard and tasted. You can also follow the graphic line on the paper that explains how the different sites are interconnected. If you unfold the entire map and hold it in front of you, you can see the path in one direction from one point to another and the other direction of the path is upside down so that you can read it if you turn the map around. This is because I wanted to explain that the two directions of the path is like mirrors to each other, but you notice different things depending on which direction you are walking. What is most interesting about the map is that it shows some clear contrasts in how various are prioritized in the city. For example there is a lot of money put into making nice flowerbeds and building new homes for those who can afford it, in the same area as homeless EU migrants are camping. Another example is that grass which is trying to grow freely in the city gets weeded out, in the same area as greenery is planted in specific spots to create a green environment. These contrasts become clear first when you read the whole map.

During my walk I wrote down everything that I saw, heard, smelled and tasted. Everything from the little things to the small noises, and also what I thought of when I walked past something. My map consists of all these words. I have chosen not to distinguish between the different senses, because for example where it says coffee, it could be that I first smell something, then I see the coffee, and can taste in my mouth and then it makes me think of when I drank coffee with my grandmother last summer. I have not printed the names of places and bridges, instead I use the water, the canal, like a key to relate to the city and I think that all the words together create a perception for my walk.

What was unexpected was that a woman was standing in exactly the same place on the way to the flower kiosk as on the way home.

The first object that I found was an old envelope that someone has used as a shopping list, and the second was some sort of license card that was cutted in half.

My first step was to point out the main places where I either felt something or that´s familiar to me. Then I found this unused map at my apartment, and I started to play with putting my places out in the world. I put some effort in making something by myself to represent the feelings that were positive to me and the not so pleasant feelings I just found representations of in magazines. For me the map is a way of playing with big connections and real feelings and my wish is that others can read it and find some of the connections or feel something.

In my map, I show the path that I had vision on when I walked. The idee was from the game Age of Empire. Every path that have been explored is visualized on the game map.

The things that I noticed on my walk, I describe them with the icons on the map. The size of icon tells how much attention it got from me.

My Walk in Words

​

Sunny and crispy feeling in the air

Lovely autumn day

Sounds from cars

Music from a daycare, kids dancing on the yard

Summer flowers, looked like summer meadow, flowers fighting against the autumn

Smell of toasted bread, but then I see the sign ”the little coffeerostery”, funny difference between nose and eyes

Two boats, on of them is a boat café, decorating with pennants, looked really cosy

Here is were I found my first object – a rusty wire

Big industry buildings made me feel tiny

The smell of coffee and cigarettes

A recording place, the underground garage, reminded me of the Swedish TV-show “Bron”

a bicycle in the canal

Two guys fishing, talking another language

Central station, people everywhere, cars, bicycle, buses

A church who always bewilders me because of how big it is

coffee break

On a cabinet there was a banana, plastic gloves, empty water bottle, empty beer, cigarette package, paper from a cinnamon bun. this caught my attention as i was passing by, because it looked like a still life

On the canal by the paulibridge, there was a floating raft I’ve never seen before

Old lady feeding some birds

Kungsgatan, a street I love

The huge cemetery, a place that makes me calm

An unexpected thing - bird cage at a car repair shop

Lewerentz, a school project in the beginning of our education

ON MY WAY BACK

As we were walking under a bridge, I´ve noticed a quietness, only because the place usually is surrounded by a lot of sounds from trains and cars.

Object two - i found a hanger by the central station, which i didn’t see on my way to lewerentz

​

OBJECT ONE rusty wire

So I was thinking of how the history behind this rusty wire could look like. Maybe someone working at the industries was moving a heavy load from land onboard on a boat. But the load was so heavy that the wire snapped and sank to the bottom of the ocean..

​

OBJECT TWO hanger

This hanger me first think of travelers, and then on all the refugees that are coming to Malmö. Maybe it belonged to someone who brought their most precious clothes.

The Walk

​

The concept of the walk was mainly to work with expressions thru both sketches and real pictures. 
I wanted to explore witch kind of impression you get from ether a sketch or a picture, or maybe the two combined. The Walk contains both sketches and pictures from along the way combined and put in contrast to each other. Each sketch or picture also has some words of feelings or observations from the walk put next to them.
