Generally, urban space is a place for arrivals and departures, a flow of non-returnable moments. The notion of the Eternal City all too easily creates an image of a static, even massive and heavy, permanent place. In these works Rome appears light and unattainable, changing and amorphous. It is a city passing by and streaming around you, its fixed points forever growing dim.
