    A station. Place of interconnections of other places, motor of incessant movement of people and things. That space the most of people cross, is inhabited by other people. What is a hallway for the most, for other is home. A few square meters summarize the entire universe of human relationships that live outside, in the same way an aquarium, small or large, replicates the dynamics of open ocean animals. As in an aquarium, the fish of trawler of this imaginary station. Small figures without quality but to be human. Humanly they live the exclusion, humanly they generate as much. So they suffer the disgusted gaze of the outside world, so they regurgitate it in the microcosm that they make. Dregs of society who refuse to turn in a vicious circle of denial of the other self. In this world of the last, the beauty has is place with the anchoring desperately to life, the poignant awareness of its transience. Aquarium with mirrored walls, this society to minimum terms has neither head nor tail. It feeds on the scraps that the outside world offers. It lives within the limits that this imposes. The sidewalk is therefore the wonderful, terrible limit that is set to overshoot voltage and the driving ban, vacuous horror and curiosity adrenaline, impatience at the present and fear of the future. To the sidewalk, universal meaning of subjective limits, it contrasts the audience, place of the common wisdom that claims to be objective.
