Urban Hitchhiking exhibition opening

Urban Hitchhiking applies the idea of traditional hitchhiking
in urban space. Instead of waiting for a ride, the urban
hitchhiker waits for a lift from a fellow walker to share a
moment or two with an occasional passerby.

The installation presents photographs, sound recordings and
maps of routes travelled, which have been gathered during a
hitchhiking period in June 2017. Simultaneously, the installation
is an invitation and a starting point for trying out hitchhiking
for yourself.
