12. • What are you? Blind? In which case
maybe. I mostly support projects

13. Flaneur
• “An idle man strolling around town”
• Susan Sontag: “the voyeuristic stroller who
discovers the city as a landscape of
voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of
watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur
finds the world picturesque.” (pg. 55)
