The snow filled glass globes...Inside, there are tiny figures, miniature houses and maquettes...
The magical world looks like quiet and still, at the beginning. It is never filled only with happiness....
Once the globe is shaken, the snowflakes will fly everywhere like humor and darkness, joy and pain, pleasant dreams and nightmares...like little moments from the past, each one a story by itself...

Warning: Watching shaker might have a hypnotic effect.
The world inside has alluring beauty and it could be anywhere, or nowhere.
The imaginary journey could be real and rude in emotional terms...

Just a slice of everyday life. No surprises.
A humdrum story on a humdrum day.
The kind of day when nothing happens.
From the moment you get up, until the time you go to bed.
At home, at work, in the street, at the doctors, meeting people...waiting around...boredom...
And than suddenly -  the light.
Too much can make you blind, while a single ray exposes tiny particles hanging in the air.
Is there any point in focusing light on a piece of furniture, just to approach the dust behind it?

An utopian city, structured by a play of opposites: fluidity and rupture, private and public, moving an unmoving, individual and crowd, order and chaos... Since the industrial civilization has given way to computer civilization, the Matapolis has become our only world, a labirinth of signs and situations. Still, the global perception of the post-modern city is based on pictures from our fantasy, but the loss of individual bearings has led to an affected and interior approach to urban reality.
