Since 2007 there are the »NRW Tickets« at the Universitiy of Applied Siences and Arts in Dortmund, which makes it possible to travel for free with public transport through entire »NRW«. We took this service as an opportunity to discover our federal state a bit better. We documented our trips through photographs and collected every data that accompanied us threw out our trips: driven kilometers, tickets, receipts, newspapers etc.
The work consists of two pieces: the red book shows the photography and the cities, that were partially unknown to us, combined with the evaluated train data and facts about the particular locations. Additionally to the printed parts we took pieces of (tourist)maps to show where you can find our visited cities in »NRW«. In the second part we show our personal collection of receipts, postcards, quotes and »making of« pictures.
