The city, still standing but already lost, became the theatre of an immobile present, full of meaning and open to interpretation. Here, it is not just material. It suspends time, erases customs and transforms spaces into testimonies of a rapidly changing civilization. Deserted places, immobilised architectures and images marked by the absence of people reveal what persists beyond walls and fa\u00e7ades: buried memories, traces of uses that have disappeared, and possible new interpretations of space.
