Every person has a pen with fluorescent ink that he can use whenever he feels like to reveal something to the public. Every occupant can design his own façade and give the public an idea of what is hidden behind the walls. Thereby the boundary between inside and outside blurs.
The ink can only be seen at night through the direct light of a torch or a reflector. Thereby the messages bear themselves only by chance or to people whom actively search in the urban space for its life and identity. One can react and comment on someone’s statement, give a possible solution and proposal or complete someon's drawing. People who don’t want to know anything about the city and prefer to see the untouched empty shell can easily avoid getting disturbed.
By and by, as the time changes, the ink fades away creating new space for other thoughts and suggestion. By this the face of city constantly changes along with the constant change of nowadays city structure.
