We asked ourselves this question and started to create a private space inside the public space . Whereas in the public space people usually only get in contact with strangers when they need to ask for directions . We started writing down our own personal stories or thoughts and handed them out to people we met during our walk . Then they were asked to read them out loud . Every person had also the possibility to write down their own note , to share it with the next person we met . After our fifth and last walk , we had collected nine stories of people we met on the streets , being surprised how personal most of them were . Our walk held the possibility of an ongoing walk , which can ’ t really be finalized .
