Personal love histories
 
When I pass by blocks of buildings, they all look the same, but behind each window there is a different life with its own happiness, despair etc. People fall in love, give birth to their children, become sick, die...
 
If I were transparent I would enter the houses like angels from Vim Wenderse's film "Wings of Desire", I would be invisibly present in people's life, maybe even being able to help them.
 
People usually clean their windows in spring and the sun reflections dance in each window. Spring is the beginning of new hopes, of new life in nature as well as human relationships. That's the perfect time to walk in the streets and investigate some personal love histories.
