Routes, walking, buildings


When I used to work in Tapiola during one summer I always took the same routes from bus stop to the workplace. I guess I’m not only one who does that. We get so familiar with everything that surrounds us that we won’t pay any attention to the environment and the possible beauty that might be found there.

We just walk with a decent, rapid phase, in our own thoughts, moving the hands back and forth. Unless we carry something, our hands are tied, and we have to slow down a bit. It’s fun to watch people walking. I have a feeling that the phase is a bit slower and the hands (arms) don’t move in such a large scale in Tapiola than in downtown Helsinki.

Besides people there are buildings (blocking free routes). Buildings with high walls, some windows here and there. Where there is no windows there is empty walls which cry for something happening, may be in the form of video projection?
