NORWAY: Where do you prefer to walk? Why do you like to go on that particular trail? Some walk because they have to, while others walk because they want to.

Several hundred young participants were given the task of filming themselves while walking the best short distance they knew and explaining why they preferred that specific trail. In the period of November 2017 until May 2018, 18 schools, 30 groups and 400 students participated in the 100 METERS project by making a video with their mobile phone. The videos showed the participants when they walked their best 100 meters while filming themselves and explaining why. "Best" in this project was a short stretch that the participants had strong feelings about. Whether it was from their home to the rabbit cage, over the hillside to their horses or to the local shop to buy chocolate. The participants were given the opportunity to say something about themselves and about walking. It gave us (others) an insight into how they think and orient themselves in their surroundings. Thus, pieces of a Norwegian reality became visible. Topics like walking, borders, migration, identity were discussed in several two-hour workshops. The videos were collected and published online in an archive (www.100metervideo.no). An edited version were shown at Trondheim kunstmuseum Gråmølna during the art festival Trondheim open 2020.
