The Man of the Crowd


“Today urban identity is a matter of image, of identity in the midst of the crowd […] The 'world' that populates the modern metropolis is the 'crowd', a 'veil' that hides the mob, a simulacrum of individuals, yet within which everyone displays unmistakable features.”
 
Calefato, Patrizia: The Clothed Body, Oxford/New York 2004, S. 118.
