This performance visualized the users’ movement at Schwedenplatz. The performance interrupted the usual use of the area and broke the accustomed way of perceiving public space. It showed the spots of traffic concentration and provoked discussions on the way of using public space.

To demonstrate the movement patterns, a pipe was used with a piece of street chalk attached on one end. The performer with a street-chalk-drawing apparatus in her hand followed a chosen passer-by continuously drawing a line on the ground.
