In the markets of dust, the features of the dolls/human beings are violated: the purity of their wrapping/urn - the security of the clinical perimeter of shop-windows - is negated. Their clothes - if still on them - are torn; their hair, no longer soft, reveals traces of past experiences, consumption, memory, pain arising from the need for a new value. Some dolls are only pieces, legs, bodiless heads - erased memories and oblivion: not of what once was, but of what remains. ____Note___ All photographs in this book were taken with the camera of a mobile phone, with no further elaboration.
