How to get to know a city: a user's manual; a test kit.

Abstract

In an attempt to re-aquaint myself with the city of Oslo, I started performing tests on it. By walking through snow and picking up bits of buildings, I stitch together my own way of dealing with a city in relation to figures like Sophie Calle and George Perec. Through the thesis themes of the everyday, collecting, and text become central ways of approaching and relating to the city as a site of discovery.
