This story is a visual tour of Clive Booth's daily life. Since he arrived in Barcelona in the 70s and fell in love with Las Ramblas, Clive has been making performances criticizing the city model. His unique way of seeing the world that surrounds him has led him to be highly appreciated by the residents of the whole life of the city.

This project has been exhibited at the La Bòbila Cultural Center and MUCBE in Benicarló thanks to curator Etel Reis.
