They dig their way into the grain of cities to find out what places and its people are really about. Participants get involved in individually tailored, dramatized performances about their city, based on an online survey, a blog and continuously growing internet archives. Urban Pilgrimages can take on various forms, such as behavioral instructions or procession-like journeys with collective movement, gesture, sound, props, food, music and personal encounters. The personalities and communities within the given place with their stories and emotions become the artistic material. Individual experience becomes a public field, which generates a new cartography of a place - the essential toolkit for the 21st century voyager. The project developed through different public tours during the last years: Urban Pilgrims Vienna (2007), Pilgrimage for Calgary (2006), Pilgrimage for Edmonton (2005) and Pilgrimage for Munich (2004). Every city originates a complete new series of site-specific behavioral instructions, new rituals for the city. For example in Calgary the pilgrims performed a baroque dance, kissed pedestrians and sang a love song to the ducks. In Edmonton everybody turned their clothes inside out, called a suicide helpline and did the purple city performance. In Vienna participants ran on time on Heldenplatz, did a sugar burning at Michaelerplatz and visited a brothel and the entrance to the underworld.
