“I would like you to take me on a narrated trip to one of your favourite places. You can describe it to me however you like.”
I asked family and friends to narrate a favorite place. With this question, I wanted to find out how people perceive spaces, what a favorite place can look like, and what it needs. The answers range from childhood memories to metaphorical places.
To read about these narrated places, the pages must be opened individually using a letter opener.
