Night Walkers #3 (This Used To Be My Playground Session)



NITGH WALKERS #3 was a guide to Kanaleneiland's playgrounds by May Linh Ly. 
There is an insane amount of playgrounds in the area! 
Mai Lihn was not only questioning their presence and function but also the notion of the playground. Her route included apart from what you would stereotypically call a 'playground', all those spots in the area that evoke a certain feeling of leisure and play. 
Eighteen playgrounds over one hour and a half of walking in the night.
Some fenced, some out in the open, most of them in front of the entrance of the flats, others hidden in the labyrinth of the apartment complex.
