“With this work, I want to show what distance is possible between a language that is spread through the media (a discourse, a project) that has the necessary power and the appropriate means to express itself (the language of politicians, architects , journalists ...), and a language without a permanent address, an everyday language (of actions, events, facts), another language that comes from the same place, the same region, the same city.
