Living in l’Allau street, a place with no fixed time or location, we find a group of people who may seem familiar to us: unique characters with strange lives, who live out their existence with unusual routines. But everything changes when a new invention, and the latest in neuro-technology, the fabulous Cinemind, is installed in the street. The invention will change forever the lives of this curious group of people on a street that is unlike any other, but could be found in any city.
The reality of our existentes is put under the microscope through the incisive, dreamlike gaze of the autor. In Imagina un carrer, winner of the Premi Documenta in 2006, Guillem Sala Lorda reflects upon the difficulty of communication in a world where the media has become the main source of our emotions. This book is an entertaining re-affirmation of the currently little-valued human capacity to imagine.
