Pasted on a box coming off the 101 offramp into Echo Park is this bi-lingual manifesto.
There's something very honest in the frustration voiced here: An effort to strip down one's life to the barest essentials and to escape the constant bombardment of the media, consumerism, and measuring your worth against that of your neighbor.
Alas, the bottom in English got cut off, because of moving cars and a traffic light, so I'm not sure what the question at the end says. Translation anyone?

the questions is this:
"Do you want to fall without ever finding out who struck you down?"
And the bottom is not a translation of the top.

I posted about these posters on my blog and some kind commentator (http://chanfles.com/blog/?p=759#comment-21764) gave me the info that these are part of an art project. Here's the link you all possibly want: http://womeninthecity.org/
Not so interesting to me once I found that out.

The english version isn't actually a translation of the spanish. the spanish reads:
Don't speak to me. Don't be nice to me. Don't try to make me feel good. Don't relax. I will erase the smile from your face. You think I don't know what's happening. You think I'm afraid to react. the joke is on you, I am waiting my turn, looking for the right place. You think no one can touch you, that no one can have what you have. I was planning it while you were messing around. I was saving while you were spending. The game's about to end, so it's time you recognize me. Do you want to fall without ever finding out who struck you down?
chilling
