The sense of belonging to a city we inhabit or just pass through raises questions concerning the dilemma of tourism – which is, simultaneously, resource and problem of the European capitals today. Anonymous authors claim their city by means of its walls. It is a physical and present claim that blends with the materiality of the city itself and transforms urban space into scenes of the feelings of the people. Starting from photographs of writings on the urban walls, in response to the tourism phenomena, the idea is to compose visual stories. Interchangeable chapters will create different stories with different beginnings and endings as well as various possible developments. Images, accompanied by texts, will address issues of who writes, who reads and who, perhaps, should read the sentences reported on the urban façades. Based on recent author’s studies on tourism/new residents phenomena in Lisbon, the visual stories will tell about conflicts and adaptations to the new city population.
