It needs some silence to make sound
Duration: 62 min (loop)
Curated by: Manuela Gascon
It needs some immensity to realize smallness; it needs some time to reach a point; it needs some black to see the white; it needs some work to create; it needs some sadness to enjoy happiness; it needs some silence to make sound. Define things by opposition to their contrary is a way to make them strongest thanks to their juxtaposition.

Reveries, reflections, footsteps, demonstrations, crossroads, accidental poetry at Google Street View, a flock of birds. All those things that we notice or we have never noticed during our hasty routes in the city. The city as void as full, the living city or the empty landscape, in endless wanderings of the eye and the mind.
