I bring Detroit and Torino in close conversation by overlapping and editing two images. I hide and reveal different features of each layer to show the possible visual
relationships between two very different urban settings. As in ancient palimpsests, where an older text can be recovered under a new one, the final result is a more
complex story, which adds a three-dimensional impression to the image as our eyes shift from one line, texture or colour to the other.
