this is the amazing skyline packed in behind the macba in el raval. all walls should come with a right way up pattern.

this beaten down building is the archetypal latino man: romantic, out-of-date and beautiful.

but then, latino men are short.

i took this on a ridiculously hot day and, it could just be me, but the heat on the walls is almost tangible. i can't quite make out the sign, not in the photo and not in my memory, but i think it's talking about community action and co-operative living. how could it not.

sometimes towns are so remote and otherworldly that they seem beyond utilitarian concerns like streets. it doesn't make sense that a road even runs through this town.
