When one walks the streets of a foreign country with a particular focus concerning the afterlife and how it can be reached, one can not avoid feeling at least slightly somber. Despite the sometimes dark and ironic ways of dying, it is still a rather philosophical undertaking and one can not avoid feeling a bit heavy, while looking around for possible sign or indicators for death and decay.
It is on the other hand a remarkably interesting way of trying to travel a country and look at life. It should be mentioned that this undertaking is part of a series of events called Area. While previous parts of this series were very much dedicated to find particular performative formats for public space and life in public, this undertaking looks at possibilities of how a place can be comprehended by looking at it from a particular point of view.
"99 ways...", amorphous as it might seem, especially for the adventurers themselves, is some sort of philosophical field research, amateur parascience and journey into death, while walking amongst the living.
