A photograph of Catherine Balet, taken from the Strangers in the light series, was mentioned by Conny Beyreuther in Zazpika. A nini is surrounded by photo cameras and video cameras, and the people behind the screens appear as illuminated. In all the photos of the series it is also like this, a lot of screens and behind enlightened people.

These screens are phones, tablets, computers or cameras of photos and videos. There are many phones, and probably out of the house, both in the city and in the hamlet, they're the ones that look at us the most or see us. In addition, most of them are computers, as they also have Facebook.

The other day, in a restaurant, some faces lit up because of the screens. A picture of yourself, a selfie in the current language, and then publish it on the Internet, in the so-called social network. The following write a comment and the authors of the photo then refer it. More photos and comments. Communication between those people who had been put together, at the time, was visible all over the world, except for some at the table, perhaps because they lacked the Internet.
