What do you notice about a city when you walk it from one side to the other?

Crossing is a walking experiment where I move from edge to edge — west to east, north to south — tracing a path through neighborhoods, roads, and spaces that don’t usually follow a single storyline. It’s not about efficiency or sightseeing. It’s about stitching together opposites, letting the walk reveal what's in between.

Each crossing follows a simple rule: walk from one edge of a city to the opposite side, without shortcuts. Below are the cities I've crossed so far, each one a straight line through a different story.

In this walk I crossed Amersfoort from its eastern edge to the western boundary, tracing one unbroken line through the city. The route isn’t about efficiency or landmarks; it’s about seeing what the city reveals when you move straight through it. From shifting neighborhoods to hidden transitions, the east–west crossing shows Amersfoort as a single continuous landscape.
