"The storyteller takes what he tells from experience‚ his own or that reported by others. And he in turn makes it the experience of those who are listening to his tale" W. Benjamin

Once Upon A Time (Campfire Stories) is structured in four strategies: Conducting extensive (more or less random) walks through the city in search for people and stories, collecting the stories and returning them to the mobile unit where people will gather in the evenings to tell them to each other. Furthermore local storytellers will be invited to the unit where they tell their stories of the city. Then making creative use of the walks and the city by coming up with possible plots for stories "once upon a time" and finally collecting and adding stories and "once upon a time" through out the entire duration of THE KNOT in all three cities and establishing some sort of archive which should be accessible inside the mobile unit.

Throughout the duration of the project a number of walks will take place. They will start - according to weather and route - at particular places in the city and will end at the Mobile Unit’s location where the participants will give account of their walking-experience.
