A commissioned urban art project by Óbidos - Vila Literária, under the main theme 'light' and particularly on Literary Culture, seeks to value heritage, immovable and intangible, through a mural painting based on the work Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino, recovering the idea of 'impossible cities, for example, a microscopic city that expands, expands until it ends up formed by many expanding concentric cities'.
Taking advantage of the perpendicularity of the two walls, a painting appears segmented by the shadows that the wall in front imposes on them. These diagonal lines of light are marked on the painting, with blue mason's line, in this way we capture the light from hour to hour creating a relationship with the pages of a book. On the walls, understood as two pages of a book, small objects were installed such as plastic soldiers, wooden horses, boats, spinning tops, objects that swirl and that we visualize when we read a story.
