so... the more i thought about invisible cities, the more i wanted to identify one common thread of one specific aspect of rome. an invisible city could always be many unique things, but a city is also unified through it's common motifs and all the things that repeat themselves throughout the cities walls and streets and sewers and buildings and even people. so i thought about the graffitti in this city and how prevelant it is, but i have never seen anyone physically making the graffitti. which is actually true in most cities, or at least those that i have been to. i see these remnants of human interaction with their city, but i have never seen anyone in the act, which makes them invisible to me. so less of an invisible city, and more of an invisible people. but people are what make a city, so maybe its the same.
