Decision Values

There are several places at which the density of crucial decisions is rather high. In Paris, I observed the emblematic buildings of the stock exchange (Bourse), the parliament (Assemblée Nationale), the high court (Palais de Justice), an airport tower (Orly), a hospital (Hôpital de la Salpêtrière) and the Madeleine for a certain period of time; and then took the same amount of images of these buildings as either the number of decisions being made, their duration or frequency, or the number of choices or deciders.
