Abstract

We travel through public space as if our eyes were objective and camera lenses. They are our own technology. Wandering through the cities, we build a film of life through our eyes that are fixating on the retina of memory spatial constructions, environments, experiences, and a whole set of anonymous characters that give them meaning. In a certain way, we are directors and producers who work an invisible film and who, through the simple “walk around”, relaxed, focusing on the floor, raising their gaze, mentally drawing constant three-dimensionalities, we give body to these narratives of each of our daily lives.

Keywords : Flaneur, Cities, Public space, Architecture, Cinematic.
