“Cemented abstractions, windswept, drowned by mists, the dense, moving facades impose themselves, without foundations, without skies, like the gigantic panels of a theatrical set. The actors - passers-by - come and go in this fluid mass where people move to live. Their appearance is furtive. Their actions consist of simple gestures, reduced to the choreography of silence and the harmony of chaos. Urbanity forces us to the essential. Urban universality. Buildings vibrate, hands dance, steps get lost. The city welcomes its inhabitants. In return, in ordinary, everyday attempts, fragile lives try their hand at twirling games, inner journeys, exchanges of words, permutations of roles”.

Extract from the preface by Théo-Mario Coppola
