La rue qui ne se traverse pas

The verticality of the book's format announces both the setting and the central theme of the story it tells: the height of the facades and the depth of the streets deepen the gulf that separates people in the urban world. In such a context, only the wings of the soul and the imagination can ward off solitude. From one window to the other, in a confrontation accentuated by the emptiness of the street, a girl and a boy exchange their thoughts and desires through the flight of sparrows that come and go from one building to the other. Their common space is thus an imaginary kingdom that tries to build itself over the obstacles of reality. Their glances recompose a harmony of colours that the greyness of the city cannot destroy.
