And she has, like all the northern cities, this surprising condition when we have the Mediterranean countries. A condition imposed on everyone, let us bourgeois or popular belonging: that of a life lived mainly in interior spaces. We are used day after day, to travel into town without actually being there, as if the streets and sidewalks existed only to lead us from point a to point b - which will inevitably closed rooms protected from external aggression.

In the end, these pictures seem haunted.
