Walkers...

12:00 a.m.

18/04/19 - German philosopher Walter Benjamin predicted how it would be like to walk in the 20th Century. His predictions can be seen even in the actual pedestrian, who walks self-absorbed, not wanting to observe what surrounds him. The street is an ocean of information that forces us to defend ourselves from such burden. That’s why the urban individual seeks isolation, something that is constantly reminded to us in today’s artworks.
