The picture is taken from above. An African worker replaces some old bitumen paper sheets out of a roof. He rolls them up and he throws them down. On touching the ground they make a sound of smashing glasses. The sound is like an alarm, which astonishes and upsets, while the worker unbothered continues his work.
By the way, the previous day at the kiosk I had overheard a dialogue culminating with the question “have you ever seen a black man working?”

A woman's bag is lying on the ground in front of the waste bucket, the sound of the city can be heard faintly, then the sound of birds. There are also some quick reverses of the sound at some point. A mobile phone is ringing, from a distance – while the picture zooms in at the bag – we could assume that the sound of the mobile phone comes from the bag.  The last two rings, though, become louder. Is it in the bag, or is it someone coming closer with his mobile ringing?
There is a spatial paradox taking place, creating a kind of uncertainty about the way one moves within the city.

An ice cream is melting slowly on a bench, in an open athletic field with basket courts, while we can hear to the running and the voices of the young players and the rhythmic bouncing of the ball. Gradually the ice cream melts completely and runs down on the pavement.

At an automatic photographic booth.
A mysterious girl with a bright coloured cardigan is being photographed in the booth; we do not see her face.
Athens by night: the sound of people talking at a distance and music, indicate the existence of places of amusement near by. There is an erotic, enigmatic mood.
