Knowing how to dose banality and paradox: this is all the art of the fragment.

* Detalle de “El Gran Canal”. “La Riva del vin” (La Ribera del vino). Venecia.
* La Riva del vin circunda el Gran Canal desde el Puente de Rialto hasta la iglesia de San Silvestre en el lado del sestiere de San Polo. Es uno de los pocos tramos del Gran Canal flanqueado por recorridos peatonales. El nombre deriva del hecho de que en este lugar comenzaron a llegar y a amarrar barcos cargados de vino, una costumbre que se prolongó hasta casi mediados del siglo XIX.
Evocaremos aquellos versos del romántico José Zorrilla (poeta del s. XIX) en estos fragmentos de su canto:
…Allí está, Venecia, la dueña opulenta
de antiguos y nobles y libres blasones,
Venecia la hermosa, la villa que cuenta
que a sueldo tenía soberbias naciones,
señora del mar.
Que cuenta que un día imperios y reyes
su gala envidiaron, su nombre temieron,
y el mar y la tierra besaron sus leyes,
y enviáronle buques, soldados le dieron;
porque ella supiera batirse y triunfar.
Un día a sus ojos la tierra callaba,
un día su nombre la tierra llenaba.
…
¡Reír, cantar, beber, corta es la vida!
Reír, hasta que seca la garganta
niega paso a la voz enronquecida;
cantar, hasta que el alba se levanta,
que yace en el Adriático dormida.
¡Opulenta Venecia, ríe y canta,
ríe y canta, señora de los mares,
que la risa y la voz cubren el llanto;
y mientras roe el tiempo tus pilares,
y deslustra la lluvia el áureo manto,
risa y juego y festines y cantares,
rueden las horas del dolor en tanto...
(JOSÉ ZORRILLA. A Venecia.)

The Ruinenberg is a hill in the Bornstedt borough of Potsdam, located north of Sanssouci Park. In 1748, the Prussian king Frederick the Great had a water tank with a capacity of around 7600 m³ built on top to supply the Sanssouci water features, and had it decorated with artificial ruins. From 1841 a surrounding landscape garden was laid out at the behest of King Frederick William IV of Prussia, according to plans designed by Peter Joseph Lenné.
Master Builder Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff and Theater Painter Innocente Bellavite designed blinds of imitation antique ruins. A Monopteros (round temple), three high ionic columns, a small pyramid, and a ruined wall, designed as if from a Roman theatre, were grouped around the pool. (Wikipedia)

this is again what I always prefer - "nothing"!
Nothing on a planetary scale, just a fragment of a sphere.
Majestic nothingness, there is neither the eternal "makeshift" Eiffel Tower, nor the greatest marvel of Italian marketing - the ever-falling bell tower. Luckily that's not all! And still thousands of people do not crowd and sell hot dogs. Not yet.. ) What a blessing that there is NOTHING !
If you have something inside.. then you need it so much - a little air around !

A previously unpublished shot from August 2020. I really miss those snippets of conversation. the fragments of other peoples lives, that you could hear as you walked around the city. Something that was actually represented really well in the Grand Theft Auto series of video games! If you could string all of those snippets together I wonder what the resulting chaotic narrative would be. Enjoy!
