This work is in foldout format, like old Japanese books. It shows a series of symmetrical commercial storefronts displaying characteristic features of the city of Buenos Aires.

Some 50 photographs in black and white form a kind of sampler of typical neighborhood stores, window-door-window with a frontage of 8.66 meters.

Bars, butchers, dry-cleaners, stores of all kinds, many of them closed, always deserted and desolate, reflecting a state of siesta, which rather than indicating a certain time of day, refers to the state of mind of a city of Buenos Aires that is stretching and yawning, as if suspended in a dream.
