The Relationship between
You and I ‘People of the Asteroids’
Once the shantytown on the hills was bulldozed, an
apartment complex with a rich town’s name took the place. Out of
the fear of losing a competition and despite the price premium for
being close to a flashy neighborhood across the river, I ended up

are so tangled that nobody could possibly guess where they are
connected to; thin steel frames are connected by some means, and
then get covered with thick cement. Yesterday’s floor becomes to-
day’s ceiling, and bumps develop from smooth surfaces in a day. of my social standpoint, I wish to speak through photographs.
How does the world disturb us? The very process of spectacles are Spectacles are not mere sets of images; rather, they are the so-
as much as spectacle as the outcomes themselves. I feel anxious cial relationships among the people mediated by these images!
and nauseated. Since our modern history was not built upon our willful choices,
we have become secularized. For that, I give my best to be more
