THE CITY PROJECT
The City Project is an attempt to compose a visual and poetic inventory of the city of the 21st century.
It is a current record of Cities and Megalopolis across the world.
Our approach is neither analytical nor journalistic, but rather sensorial and experiential based on the collective members’ different feelings, perceptions, cultures and backgrounds.
The City Project is an ABC book. It is exploring 26 themes, in an attempt to apprehend the complexity and the many facets of city life in a playful way.
Its ambition is to portrait the big city with curious eyes, sometimes amazed, sometimes worried by what they see. Each topic works as a dialogue between the 643 Collective members, wandering in their respective cities, and other megacities they go to, collecting their urban experiences and then intersecting their perceptions of the world.

I am heading out.

Where?
You are never going out. There is no such place.

The velvet curtains open up suddenly,
Exhausted bodies & fireflies slowly surround me,
I could totally fall asleep despite the flashing lights,
If I really wanted to.

UNIVERSAL YEAR 1
In numerology, 2017 equals to 1; a symbol of a new beginning. The number has become a pretext to inquire about our future.
This left us with the question “What can we expect ? From now and beyond.”
We don’t know. We are looking for answers, for clues in our social landscapes, in the cities and places we live and breathe in.
This is a capture of the feeling of our time, the zeitgeist; our emotional take on the world, like a constantly evolving encyclopedia of impressions, feelings and snapshots.
