A walk from 21:00 to 9:00 from west to east along the line of Greater Copenhagen\/Stork\u00f8benhavn from Ballerup to Vedb\u00e6k. I will try to pass as many signs as possible saying \u2018Stork\u00f8benhavn\u2019 on the way. I will look at Greate<\/span>r Copenhagen as a zone that you should not enter during a pandemic. Outside is a safe space. <\/span><\/p>\n

I will wear different masks during the walk, not as protection masks against covid-19, but as theatrical statements, a carnival of the stylized mask walking into and out of the night. It seems that there is a fear of the other seen in the masking, seen as a covert person.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a mask ban in Denmark, and we don’t easily adopt to the use of masks as seen during the covid-19 outbreak, whereas e.g. southeast Asians handle this with a sincere professionalism. The mask is also a trace of religious practise banned by Christianity. And masks signify protection, like the well-known and almost grotesque plague masks. I will communicate through written signs almost like in a silent movie, a silent statement without speech.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I walk, I will go through areas that have significantly different scopes of estates and prices for a house or a flat. Copenhagen is seen as an unfriendly city, where prices have gone up extremely. Therefore, the city in itself is infectious and exercising an economical censorship against citizens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
