I took photographs that aimed to capture the spirit of place of Detroit and Torino, and then interpolate the images,
allowing parts of each to come to the fore or remain in the background.
The final image hides and reveals different parts of each town. In some viewers can recognize each urban setting.
In others, a completely abstract dynamic shows the power of intertwining scenes on purely formal and aesthetic
grounds.
