Audiotur Footnotes

Footnotes is an alternative audio guide for the streets of Old Oslo, which takes listeners on a walking tour of highlights from artist Jon Benjamin Tallerås’s many journeys on foot through Tøyen and Grønland. The artist investigates hidden nooks and semi-concealed spaces in the city, recording the ambient sound along with his own commentary. The intimate walking tour becomes a journey through Oslo that highlights often overlooked elements of the city, in which the recorded ambient sound through the listener’s headphones creates a doubling effect on the experience of moving through the urban landscape. The work is part of Tallerås’s project wander ponder going yonder for Munchmuseet on the Move, and it guides visitors from the Munch Museum to a temporary exhibition of new work in Galleri Oslo (entrance from Tøyenbekken). The walk takes approximately 45 minutes
