[tableau of very recent news photos of looting]

LOOTING: peeling off layers of meaning on the crossroad of wanton destruction and instantaneous greed…

Fire burning social constraints.

For a short moment only.

Property remains the fundament of societies through all times.

Ownership resurfaces like a phoenix from fire.
