When walking, time stands still while space flies

Abstract

Authors note: Walking an urban transect translates a geographical line through the city into a sequence of situations. I walked through some of the world’s largest urban agglomerations capturing moments and situations of everyday life. Each of these passages brought me in three to five days from one end to the other. This text is also a passage through thoughts and pictures revolving around these walks and especially the one, when I crossed São Paulo in November 2011.
