I moved to Berlin in January 1997. In order to get to know the city without following my own habits or patterns given by city planers, I decided to go zick-zack. The first decision after leaving the flat should be "turn to the left". From now on I would alter directions at every possibility I would have. I would walk every passable way, street or path. I decided to walk until I would reach the city’s border. I wrote down every name of the streets and places I walked. Places without I described with simple terms like walkway, path, courtyard and so on.
