. We will explicitly compute the gradient of the total squared curvature functional on a space of closed curves. An example shows that the flow along the gradient trajectory may cause curves to develop self-intersections. We prove the existence of strictly convex curves that momentarily turn nonconvex. In conclusion we use computer graphics to illustrate how self-intersections come about.
