I have been living and working in the same neighbourhood for the past 15 years, in the Moșilor-Mântuleasa area. By chance, a couple of friends have also been living or relocating in the area, and became my neighbours. This proximity allowed us to plan multiple activities and leisure rituals, the most extensive being regular neighbourhood walks.
Alone or in the company of my friends/neighbours, I have been continuously wandering in already highly familiar places and closely observing what Georges Perec would call the infra-ordinary. These habitual walks include close observations of buildings, intersections, parks, pop-up constructions or even an ethereal atmosphere that can be found in a very specific corner, an exhaustive examination of a certain place in a given timeframe, as ways of exercising attention or defusing anxiety.
