This book is an attempt to capture the places of transformation, the points where the city becomes a space covered with written personal messages. Photographs attempt to capture life, whatever complements and ingratiates the tangible landscape. Often, the city tests our readiness for odd fittings, unpredictable relations. What has happened might be an opening to what could happen. We are left with either acceptance or refusal. It is up to us to decide whether we shall live in a surreal, sober, banal, metaphoric, dull or extraordinary city.... Vladimir Jankovsk
