The parallel between the City and Man becomes evident as the viewer follows the course of the meridians in an anatomical map of the human body used in Chinese acupuncture. From London to Londrina, Crete to Crato, from New York to Nova Iguaçu, Lins created an imaginary journey through the body in which the body itself is simultaneously the passenger, the vehicle and a road map of urban memories.

Cities and bodies are living organisms that express and share some basic principles: flux, growth, rhythm, mobility, balance, capillary action, expansion, circulation, peripheral systems, etc. “My memory is my home, my heritage, my landscape. My city is where I am.”
