  Passing the fences of urban construction sites, the mystery builds up. Often enclosed for safety measures, building sites remain inaccessible for those outside the triangular hierarchy- architects, investors and construction companies.

While some people try to peek through the gaps between the fence spans, others jump up or bend over the covers, but most pass by impassively.
