Faces

I like walking alone on the streets when the evening falls. Sometimes after a rainy day, when people prefer to stay at home and watch tv, leaving the roads and squares clean and lonely, I can feel like someone is watching me. It's then when the miracle occurs...


Faces from old times, from the most dark periods of the human history, appear suddenly at any corner. They've been there all the time, smiling to us, no one knows if they want to be friendly or if they're just trying to express a silent menace...


Giant angel faces observing generations of aarhusians and foreigners passing by during hundreds of years, being witnesses of their joy and their tears too...


They appear normally indifferent to the human beings, but sometimes they can be shameless or even cruel, laughing at us


Most of them are human faces, but some of them can be monstruous and scary


You may think that you're alone, but you're never on your own... At least in the old Århus!
