The occupation of space is not just geographical, it is personal too: if we occupy the lives of others with existential questions, we are taking up their time and residing in their space. I took these photographs over the course of 10 years in a semi-abandoned town in Montenegro. In the windows of the uninhabited space (perhaps an office, perhaps a store) the only remaining form of life was the plants that grew over time. On the outside you can see a layer of gray plaster that had initially been laid on to cover the windows, but that has been removed by the townsfolk, little by little, day after day, to give light and life back to the plants. A simple act, in a small, almost deserted town, that takes on a universal significance. So I decided to return at regular intervals to take photographs of the windows. For this reason I inserted the dates of the pictures in the title of the work, as an indication of the passing of time and the involvement of the inhabitants. The aim was to make freedom of thought and the independence of civil judgment visible. This space shows a peaceful occupation by the plants from the inside, and in parallel a poetic liberation by the people who live outside and take the responsibility of interacting with the space.
