Traces of forgotten stories

As I wrote before, a city is not simply a physical place or a collection of buildings. A city is a multilayered entity where ever-important events of history intermingle with its residents' everyday life for centuries. Sometimes these events leave their trace behind for us. To remember, to forget or to wonder about.

What were the things these clips and cords tried to keep here? Who put them there, when and why?

Most probably I'll never know the story behind these stuff. Still, it reminds me that this city is filled with millions of stories. My Budapest is full of my personal history, but there are millions of Budapests coexisting with it at the same place and the same time. These clips and cords offered me a glimpse of a Budapest almost completely different from mine, yet as much real and true.

Like yours, too.
