Objects in the city

Sculptures, figurines, playgrounds are scattered with diverse objects, signs of how residents claim public spaces as their own.
These objects challenge our relationship with the city and the potential, as inhabitants, to influence its aesthetic. They also transform our daily experience, much like urban planning and architecture, inviting daydreams and evoking stories of the past, present, or future.
Why is this object here? Was it forgotten, abandoned, or deliberately staged?
This series of photographs aims to showcase these objects, which, in their own way, bring a human touch to the city.
