Películas de carretera. El tráfico u otras formas de organizar la vida

In the middle of a city crowded with cars, identities seem to move with them. If our personalities and lives are established in transit, this implies that the configuration of a society is in continuous change. Madrid - Donostia. Donostia - Madrid. Looking for a soothing memory in the cell phone I find sunsets from the car, from the bus, from the train. The road seems like a mutant house where our identities rest. In the midst of a society that lives under the dynamics of competitiveness, thousands of young people migrate in order to find their place or perhaps actually with the desire to find themselves.

In the middle of a city crowded with cars, identities seem to move with them. Within the urban chaos, flooded with engines and traffic lights, the house seems the only refuge.

Asortzi
