Manchester

“Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and in this hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.” 

― John Berger

BORN IN THE EIGHTIES AND MALE

A MALE. POWERFUL, ESTABLISHED AND STRONG, 30, YOUNG BUT STILL SERIOUS.

I THINK MANCHESTER HAS MANY DIFFERENT AGES AND SEX. MY FIRST THOUGHT.

IS THAT MANCHESTER IS 39, MALE, ROUGH LOOKING WITH AND OVERGROWN BEARD AND AN OVERSIZED, DIRTY GREEN JUMPER.

A DRUNK OLD MAN.

MANCHESTER HASN’T BEEN BORN YET. THIS IS BECAUSE IT’S BELIEFS AND ACCEPTANCE OF EVERY RACE, GENDER, FASHION AND SOCIETY IS WAY BEYOND THOSE CATEGORIZED WITH A SPECIFIC AGE. ITS WAY OF THINKING, DYNAMISM AND THE INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY THAT LIVE WITHIN THE CITY BOUNDARIES ARE YEARS AHEAD OF ANY OTHER CITY. IT IS NOT PREJUDICE IN ITS FAVORITISM TO ANY GENDER. THIS MAKES IT OF A TIMELESS AGE, BUT ALSO A GENERATION OF THE FUTURE. IT IS UNBORN BUT KICKING IN THE WOMB.

I THINK A MAN IN HIS 20’S, RIDES A BIKE AND DRINKS REAL ALE.

50 YEAR OLD MAN (RETIRED LABOURER).

A MIDDLE AGED MAN WITH A LOVE OF MUSIC AND YOUNG WOMEN.

42 MALE GOES TO WAREHOUSE PROJECT ONCE A YEAR AND STILL REFERS TO IT

AS MADCHESTER.

30 Y/O FOOTBALL HOOLIGAN.
