Exploring how the simple act of walking can serve as an entry point for diverse perspectives on space, society, and the modern self.

Simon Deuter – art historian, curator or artist himself? – offers a highly entertaining audio tour of Kassel with Deutung 3.0. The art tour starts with informative reflections on various works of art in public space. Then Deuter gradually lets you in on closely guarded secrets of the art world.

This audio walk was written by Storydive’s founder Sophie Burger for the documenta 12 art exhibition in Kassel. Because of the temporary character of many artworks addressed in this walk, the walk is no longer available.
