View of my neighbours

This project been ice for a few years. Essentially wanted to construct two images that became a diptych. One a view from my house of my neighbours in the Cité Gély and the second a view of my house from their point of view. The ‘neighbour’ concept has taken a serious bashing, literally, in recent years due to hateful politics and shifting demographics. To be able to appreciate and live with one’s neighbours, one has to able to understand their perspective in general but also their perspective on you. Not always easy but essential to help a community to live in some degree of harmony.
