"This anti-romantic mise-en-scene suggests the discredited idea of time and many other “out of date” things.  But the suburbs exist without a rational past and without the “big events” of history.  Oh, Maybe there are a few statues, a legend, a couple of curios, but no past-just what passes for a future."
  Robert Smithson.  A Tour of Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey  1967

A series of trips to specific places outside of Paris

I did search for it.  Being in Montreuil on this day was wonderful.  Once away from the last metro stop I was traveling again in a foreign land.  France, perhaps, the majority of people were African.  At many views through my camera the sun silhouetted the structures, shining around them, magical color of sun.  I could have been in Africa.  I saw a new suburban architecture, old village still there.  I tried not to lose all site of the old.  When new project apartments mixed with familiar blue sky and saturated store signs; the fear and tightness of being in this world struck me. 
I found beauty and freshness here though.  I found a place to make a mark too, although I did not find the Loubet building; a wall, which surrounds part of the east side of a field where men played soccer and ran.  There are a few cut outs in this wall, one being about 115 inches in width and 5 inches tall for the most part.  There is a grander hole however on the further right side of the cut out where the height reaches 12inches. 
I could fill this hole with copper.  Just a thin slice mimicking the shape of the cut out. 
This copper would glisten like the sun I saw today.  It would make an added monument to this place of hidden treasures.
