A spiraling route sends me off into the historic centre of Copenhagen, and the city opens up for new connections. I move along newly found detours, and 12 times I upload one photo, one text and one sketch. These photos, sketches and texts suggest new spaces and new ways of being in the city. They become invitations to inter-action and to re-writing. My walk is about rootedness and contexting, distancing and connectedness at this new time. It is a walk where chance and a new gaze can meet.
