Reminder

[Debora]

Haunted:"Here... nothing would ever happen again, and the people of the pueblos were already the ghosts of themselves"."Money, sex, drugs. What else is there these days? Outside Estrella de Mar no one gives a damn about the arts. The only real philosophers left are the police.""Take a lover, fuck all the best sex out of him, then throw him out.""... the arts and criminality have always flourished side by side.""... remember, white is the colour of silence.""This is Goldfinger´s defensible space raised to an almost planetary intensity - security guards, tele-surveillance, no entrance except through the main gates, the whole complex closed to outsiders. It´s a grim thought, but you´re looking at the future.""- Shielding my eyes from the sunlight, I gazed into one of the darkened lounges. A three-dimensional replica of a painting by Edward Hopper was visible below the awning. The residents, two middle-aged men and a woman in her thirties, sat in the silent room, their faces lit by the trembling glow of a television screen. No expression touched their eyes, as if the dim shadows on the hessian walls around them had long become a satisfactory substitute for thought.- They´re watching TV with the sound turned down...They´re like a race from some dark planet who find the light here too strong to bear.They´re refugees from time.- It´s the fourth world, Charles. The one waiting to take over everything.""...there´s excellent security and not a trace of graffiti anywhere - most people´s idea of paradise today."
