A quotation from Victor Hugo

At a certain level of wretchedness a kind of spectral indifference takes over, and you see human beings as ghostly presences. Those closest to you are often no more than vague shadowy forms, barely distinct from life’s nebulous background and easily reabsorbed by the invisible.
 
[À un certain degré de misère, on est gagné par une sorte d’indifférence spectrale, et l’on voit les êtres comme des larves. Vos plus proches ne sont souvent pour vous que de vagues formes de l’ombre, à peine distinctes du fond nébuleux de la vie et facilement remêlées à l’invisible.]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 6 “Little Gavroche,” ch. 1 (4.6.1) (1862) [tr. Donougher (2013)]

Only Ghosts in these Halls / Solo Fantasme in queste Sale for #monochromemonday

In the Archiginnasio the walls are covered in around 6000 heraldic arms. These arms commemorate past students, teachers and patrons of the university. Arms were added to the walls until the late 18th century. (The Archiginnasio was built in 1563 so we're taking about 200 years worth of people)
It got me thinking about all the people who come and go from the building, yet it remains.
The "ghosts" right now are those represented by the heraldry, but one day will be us. But it's a Monday morning so don't think about it too deeply okay! ✨
This photo is a combination of a double exposure and a long exposure (because I have shaky hands and I really liked the people in one photo and the background in another so I tried to squish them together 😂)
Do not look too closely as it's my first time trying this and it's a mess. Just squint and enjoy! 😂✨
