Evolution or involution. It all depends on you.

Evolution or involution

You walk along a quiet little town in the country and look up the old buildings that are surrounding the old s. XIV church.

You find out windows that seems to be very old, probably contemporaneous with the church but there are parts that were built later in the history. The lord of the house was probably a rich man with several servants, horses, dozens of cows,…

Huge stones were brought in to build several mansions.

The balcony is from the 19th century. Perhaps there was there a little window before. Hunger and poor harvests for years led to several houses where there was a mansion. It was neccessary to use bricks because stones were to expensive.

Evolution or involution?

The TV antenna are part of the 20th century… Every corner of the house is perhaps a bit dirty. People living there are poorer than anytime before.

Evolution or involution?

It´s like a miracle to have a look to this buildings and start dreaming of the stories that could have happened there.

But it doesn’t seem to be very clear weather it is evolution or involution.
