"I have half an hour to spend while the driver repairs the taxi's flat tire. Fifty meters from the main road, the abandonned building is standing alone, covered by a tattered green fabric, shaken by the wind. I penetrate the premise through a hole in the surrounding brick wall, and i cross my fingers, hoping there will be no dogs. But it's empty, no contruction workers or other inhabitants. Looking more closely, I notice some traces of occupancy: the remains of a fire, a broken shoe and some laundry. I take the stairs up and arrive on an empty concrete plateforme. It's full of garbage and decaying furniture. Obviously a few people are living in this incomplete development, waiting to make their fortune in the big city. The aborted concrete carcass is an ideal temporary shelter. I take a photo and disappear without leaving any trace of my intrusion, my head full of dreams about these unreal estate"
