of a second a distinct passage challenges the eye

to analyze - Etienne J. Marey. Repression as a desert,
as a place from which the horizon has disappeared
(Taquini).

Urban Yard is a dizzying travelling shot through the
valleys that separate the land of the new property
owners of Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, as well as
the fiscal lands that were obtained thanks to obscure
government dealings, and then surreptiously became
the property of a private company. Perhaps a metaphor
of the corralito (the cash withdrawal limitations
imposed by the Argentinean government) whereby national
and international banks appropiated the savings of
Argentinians
