City and Memories

A postcard competition for the LOG magazine.

In the City of Black-and-White, every speck of grime on the timber sidings of an old house calls on memories of transient splendors of a great city. In the labyrinth of houses whose wooden façades had never known of paint for centuries, contemporary urban landscape is merely a series of frozen images, monotonous and serene, like real-size postcards for inhabitants to look back with nostalgia at their own childhood. It is here where humble architecture stands unchanged beyond generations. Only memories and tales are subject to renewal from time to time.
