About the work
The feet do not halt their steps and move in all directions. The foot painted with the coloured shoes of modernity - surrounds us with the thump of its steps, exactly like the hubbub of the city. We do not notice the bare foot, the foot rooted in the earth, we will not hear its ancient pace, calm like the life that we lost long ago on the other side of the city asphalt! We will see how these toes will cleanse the pavements and the street’s remains off the new foot, the worn shoes and the coming time!
