Peter Bialobrzeski, City Diaries No.17.

Unna Diary April 11-16, 2018 - April 14, 2018 "When I start my morning walk at 6:30 I am accompanied from day one by a noisy motorized sweeper. The vanguard dressed in orange with a hoodie underneath is operating a leaf blower. One of his guilty pleasures is to blow a small white plastic bag aimlessly through the pedestrian zone. I can't help being reminded of the film American Beauty- without the beauty but with a lot of noise. When I ask him about the reasoning for his activity he explains to me in his nice local accent that his job is to stir up the filth, that the sweeper can do the rest" (Peter Bialobrzeski)
