Reverse
By Johannes Bellinkx and Dennis van Tilburg
Sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward.
Turn your back on the familiar and experience Fredrikstad in a completely new way in this hypnotizing sound walk through the city centre!
Johannes Bellinkx invites you to walk along a marked route through the city center with a specially composed soundtrack in your ear. The walk has a simple twist: You must walk backwards

Reverse was shown during Culture Night Fredrikstad in 2021. See the documentation here:
Turn your back on the future
Bellinkx is concerned with our perception of time and reality. Going backwards requires you to turn your back on the future and be 100% present in the now. By surrendering to the moment, you will have a unique, sensual experience where you see the urban space and life in a completely new way, former participants say.
You will follow a clearly marked trail, so you are in safe hands. At the starting point, you will be assigned a headset to wear throughout the tour. You will hear a soundtrack adapted to the exact place you are at all times, set of by from transmitters along the trail.
Praktisk informasjon
The walk itself will take around 60 minutes at a very leisurely pace. It can be carried out both by adults and by children who are comfortable walking alone. The participants will start one by one, with approx. 3 minute intervals.
