When the buildings stopped growing and the small weeds took concrete's place on the streets to be built, the landscape changed. The cities' silhouette goes up and down as the stock market lines do and when the money was no longer on the move, when the money went missing, the suburbs' skies were left with naked buildings, concrete skeletons, shrunken iron, rust, dust.
The house selling boxes, on the sidewalks, parking spaces, wastelands, testify the degradation of the days, yet announcing appealing phone numbers of other times when buildings were still being sold as if there was no tomorrow. They seem to have been left by the emergency of someone who had something better to do or the rush of one that does not believe and leaves without looking back.
French:
Espaces dégagés.
Lorsque les bâtiments cessent de croître, que les mauvaises herbes colonisent le béton et les rues pour construire, le paysage urbain change. La silhouette des villes augmente et diminue à l'image des courbes des marchés financiers et quand l'argent n'est plus en mouvement, lorsque les fonds ont disparu, l'horizon des banlieues n'est que bâtiments nus, des squelettes de béton et de fer, de rouille et de poussière .
Les stands de ventes sur les trottoirs, les places de parking et les friches témoignent de la dégradation de l'époque, les numéros de téléphone des vendeurs, pourtant séduisants, sont d'un autre temps, celui ou les bâtiments ce vendait comme des petits pains, comme s'il n'y avait pas de lendemain.
Tout semble avoir été abandonné dans l'urgence, de quelqu'un qui avait quelque chose de mieux a faire ou de ceux qui ni croient plus et partent sans regarder en arrière.
