Walking courses

Euro City Walk

A walking course organised by Frankfurter Kunstverein visiting selected "places" and "non-places" within the city center of Frankfurt, 4/23/2002

The area: the city center, old town, main shopping district.

Gathering at the Kunstverein, which considers itself as a "place".

Introduction by director Nicolaus Schafhausen.

The Römer. Feeling like a tourist in the own city.
Fake architecture all around.

Maybe a "non-place" thinks tour guide Mrs. Müller.

One of the inevitable yet undeclared city centers.

We don't have to eat inside.

Mrs. Müller explains the concept of the "Esprit
Flagship Store". Esprit is an american company.

On the Zeil, the main shopping road of Frankfurt.

On top of the Zeil gallery, a shopping mall, with a view on selected investment options.

Really on top of everything.

Eleven floors beneath the Zeil gallery, the B-Ebene, a traffic passage serving various underground lines dating back to the 60s.

Mr. Schafhausen explains the concept of the Euro-Sign by Ottmar Hörl in front of the European Central Bank. Hörl has been christened a "non-artist" by the participants in the meantime.
