This brief essay explores the connection between photography and urban perception, using multiple exposure to generate an altered view of the landscape, creating imaginary landscapes. According to Calvino, cities can succeed others without knowing each other, reflecting on the complexity of the city. For their part, Jay and Gombrich highlight that vision goes beyond the eyes, influenced by memory and knowledge, and Spirn describes the landscape as complex and multifaceted. The transparent images of the “transparent city” question perceived barriers, where Proust and Bachelard highlight photography's ability to reveal new perspectives, expanding the interpretation of the city.
