proposition 2

masks but other than that Place de l’église is a quiet
but lively little square where tourists can enjoy the
omnipresent mountains without any concerns. Both
of them are ordering drinks. What could be a good
motive why they are meeting here and having a
drink? I try to come up with reasons. Is it close to
home? Or in the middle between two destinations?
Is it because they like the place and have good
memories of that local bakery? Or is it because they
have a good view on the square and mountains from
the terrace? What do they want do discuss? Are
they friends, colleagues or family? Maybe all those
assumptions are possible, and I can imagine plenty
more motivations for picking exactly that spot. But
that is not the point I would like to make. The square,
the bakery and the terraces indicate that, in every
respect, each of the above reasons summed up
explains that even a habitual thing like two persons
having a drink, cannot be seen without its spatial
context. Everything takes place.
In the middle of the Place de l’église and also
close to the Tourist Information Center, a display with
maps is installed to help the tourists to orientate. Even
since google maps, and other navigation devices,
were installed on the first smartphones back in 2007
those maps often seem to be updated and of use for
the unfamiliar user of the square, the town in general
