Enter the house. The place - between walls - is dark. Feel the atmosphere and look carefully.

Here, the sky is on the ground, people hover in the air and the right is the left.

The invitation is from the foreigner tin house, who becomes a guest, in the "address".

Where they comes from, houses are made of sheet metal, wood, and grow according to the family.

There, the people do not have access to water or electricity.

The ground - they say - is not theirs.

Inside, seeing things in this upside-down world, the illegality of occupation is the right to

housing.
