«We show that the city speaks through advertisement. Someone decided to write something and hang it up on a board and someone else read it. So, the advertisement is not actually a conversation, it is a bunch of short messages. So, it turns out that a response is unnecessary. It is a kind of monologue of the city. It is all just talk.
