There are almost 13,000 kilometers of streets and roads in New York, and Matt Green tries to walk them all over the course of several years - each block, park, cemetery or overgrown brownfield only slightly revealing the memory of the place. This gives him the possibility of unexpected human reunions, finding surprising connections and revealing historical and contemporary insights. Walking is both freedom and a form of urban transport that allows you to pay attention to seemingly unimportant urban aspects that together create the character of a megalopolis. The "Thoreau"-tuned story about the unusual personal search of one person and the journey to knowledge and humanity is also a confession of bipedal movement in the city.
