All this to make a morphological drawing of the social and architectural transformation that took place in the 20th century.
Photography is a way of freezing elusive moments. The result of a look, an image, that relates through the evocations, creating a memory for those who want to know the story through the instants trapped in the right moments. A collective memory built through the memories of the experiences of neighbors and workers.

Although this is a collective memory of relationships, events, feelings and interpretations, it can become something that provokes reflection and artistic practices; a push to move forward and build the future in the present. Through the almost tangible presences and the witnesses that are about to disappear, the people’s own memory is built, named as ‘Rhetoric for Passers-by’ by Michel de Certeau.
