Walks in Progress: (Voluntary self-)control (Freiwillige Selbst-)Kontrolle
From the crime museum to waste management to the fitness studio


Our society is characterised by an extraordinary need to collect things, for control and exclusion - expressed not only by the police, the courts, educational institutions and health care, but by all of us. This obsession with control starts in our own professional and private life settings. With anticipatory obedience we integrate ourselves into the control apparatus, which accumulates and markets a wide range of information about us. This journey visits places of self-control and outside control, passing by various stores of knowledge, on to insurance and security institutions - from the crime museum, the road safety kindergarten, to Hauptplatz, a controlled event location, and to the waste collections of the city historian Joachim Hainzl.
