Here, in the midst of a busy city, a man sits on a bench and reads his newspaper, which he has piled at his sides. I take a camera position that conceals the man – he could be reading, dozing, or perhaps just sitting back and enjoying the view. The opposing elements here are the sheer scale of all that space and the fact that only one person seems to be using it at this moment. There is also all that water, and yet nothing on it. All that history stands before him in those lovely old buildings, yet this fellow may not even be conscious of it. Once again, I leave it up to my viewers to build their own conclusions from these opposites and contradictions.
