sundays 97

Karl Marx was wrong when he wrote that crime certainly pays. According to his thesis, the criminal does not just produce the crime itself but also all of the measures directed against it. The fear evoked, whether real or imagined, is illustrated in numerous preventative architectural and urban interventions: fortified complexes from the outside, control architecture on the inside.
