The Mythic City reveals Bombay-a city of all kinds of extremes and contrasts.A city which has had to face so much and is yet to face so much more.This is a city which has everything going on all at once and is discovered and rediscovered every time. This city has elements which can actually create disasters but is somehow magically holding itself together.It is modernly cosmopolitan and yet stuck to its conventional roots.It is forced to face globalization,political instabilities,religious wars and tragedies. along with heaps of poverty.
It shows the beauty within the chaos.
In City at is limits.it is opens another window showing another city which happens to be,Lima.Lima was forcibly made to turn into this city,an aesthetically wonderful city, which meant it had to let go of all its simple joys.It questions whether its a taboo to be simple and stripped down to the basics or better to succumb to the futile efforts of looking and feeling rich.Is it good that we should separate good from bad and good from evil.It shows a different view toward a city,one which can be affected quickly with any action.
