Some absences from these pages that needed to be made present somehow:

L’opéra-Mouffe, dir. Agnes Varda (1958).

This way Brown, Stanley Brown (1961).

 

This way Brown is one of the many artworks I found while reading Walkscapes and trying to find my way in the creation of "Walks in an absent city".

These first pages are connected to "Miroir Claude" a project for a play that would later become the guidebooks to "walks in an absent city".
