Silent Tokyo

One of the basic human
requirements is the need to dwell,
and one of the central human acts
is the act of inhabiting,
of connecting ourselves,
however temporarily,with a place
on the planet which belongs to us
and to which we belong. *

 „In Praise of Shadows“ 

In 2010 2013 and 2016
I temporarily inhabited Tokyo,
it felt like I belonged there,
taking some stillives,
dwelling just for one month,
another home,
temporarily connecting !

This huge town is like  
an Art House.
