The work consists of an accumulation of photographs that I am taking in my daily walk. In each one you can see a person with their arms crossed, this gesture is usually done at an unconscious level, so it is usually an indicator of the sender's emotional and thought state, it can refer us to a refusal of something or simply by doing nothing in this respect, all the possibilities depend on the context. The acronym N.N comes from the Latin Nomen nescio (I don't know the name) and is used to refer to someone indeterminate or to keep an identity anonymous. Also to refer to the Decree (Nacht Und Nebel) in German, Night and Fog or Decree NN. August Landmesser (1910-1944), was a German worker, who in 1936 when the Nazi Party organized the baptism of a new ship for the German navy at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg. Meanwhile, the workers who attended en masse gave the Nazi salute, August Landmesser who kept his arms crossed.
