“Giuseppe n’aimait pas particulièrement les pigeons non plus jusqu’à ce qu’il apprenne que la mairie voulait les exterminer. Alors, il s’est mis à les nourrir. La mairie l’a prévenu : s’il continuait, on lui supprimerait son logement à loyer modéré. Mais il a continué, et il s’est retrouvé à la rue.” Pito Prods

[People Of The Street] “The tramps: fools of exclusion, poverty, alcohol … and, above all, victims. Of society, of its laws. Of the labor market and its constraints. And beyond, it is against life itself that they revolt. Hallucinated, drunk, sick, they persist in dreaming furiously of an other and impossible place to go.” [Declerck] Paris, 2017.
