“The two main characters, the city and the man, share their relationship with us. The city lives in connection with the people that inhabit it, pass through it. We are taught to discover the marks of their steps and the traces of their souls. It is the city in which they play and love and that they dominate through the life they share and through the space they contend for.
The rich communication between imagination, vision and sensibility gives birth to unique moments of truth. Beyond elaborate geometry, composition, perspectives or depth of field, it is the human presence in the images that provides the snapshots with meaning.”
