"I have more memories than if I was a thousand years old."
In front of the photos of these forgotten places, embalmed in this ordinary abandon where time has chipped the paint and deposited a layer of dust on the stones and the furniture, this Alexandrian by Charles Baudelaire constantly comes to mind.
In one of these images, two red armchairs are installed in front of a bookcase on which we can see a frame from which protrudes the photo of a woman in black and white.
In the room, it is certain, must float an odor of uncorked bottle.
We can see in the corner this
"big piece of furniture with drawers cluttered with balance sheets / verses, soft bills, lawsuits, romances / With heavy hair rolled up in receipts", which
Baudelaire always evokes.
