“Soundwalk” (“Citylophone”) is an urban intervention + game, which turns a sidewalk into a music instrument and passers-by into musicians.

ENG: Linking Things is a sub-project, which promotes young designers and their collections. Also it is an urban game, as we ask designers to pass some items from their collections to passers-by as a gift :) This thing becomes a link between two strangers (the creator and the passer-by) and gets it’s own story.

We see citizens as experts of the city. Unlike most of street fashion blogs, we consider photography as a communication with a passer-by and a way to pay a compliment. We interview passers-by on their lifestyle in a broad sense: we are interested in music they listen, books …
