Vibrating Vitality | Museum for Don Quixote in Barcelona

As I walked through the old city of Barcelona, The thing strikes me the most is the constantly changing scales of the city. Sometimes, the street is so narrow to allow the second car to pass and suddenly a grand piazza is awaiting on the other side of the dense buildings. 

I perceive these scale changes as the vitality of the city. I also find this restless vitality through the adventures of Don Quixote. He is the person in the fiction but he also steps into reality as Cervantes from time to time.

The vitality is powered by the beliefs in Cervantes’  mind, it is vibrating between tactile realities and ambiguous illusions.
