“A” examines the dependent relationship between mankind and the city: although mankind has the power of creation, humans are locked in the universe that they have designed to protect themselves. The city is therefore becoming a prison, where footpaths are the ultimate and most perfect sign of urban purification, framing and modeling our daily wanderings.
Alejandro Marote shows how people, having realized this oppressive relationship, free themselves by returning to a primitive state, in direct contact with nature. The evolution comprises four complementary dimensions: Man, the city, the collapse of straight lines and the return to nature.
