This is the name of the café from
where the pictures were taken. It is on the corner of a busy
junction, facing the town market, the exit from the metro
station, and the town hall. The patrons were not excessively
grumpy, and allowed me to stay for hours. I made four sequences
of photographs, taken from four different points of view,
over two days (top four images). The camera was positioned
on a cast iron table, looking through the window, and positioned
so that a mullion of the window frame would split the image
into two equal halves. The same person often reappears in
separate views.
Several points of view display together in an urban collage,
that mix and remix endlessly. Thus the left and right halves
may or may not correspond to the same image or even the
same point of view, and different points of view may superimpose
on either half of the picture. The degree of chaos increases
with the noise of traffic.
A clap by the spectator displays a single, coherent image
(that most visible among the collage of those being displayed),
during a brief instant.
