City of Ghosts started and remained a purely Instagram Project in the times before the onslaught of advertisers and the flood of confined television viewers who brought their caravans to a new, more artistic medium, and managed, in just a few years, to turn it into a landfill of supreme narcissism lasting a few seconds. The most fertile part of Instagram was trampled by the frenzied packs of consumers and thirsty viewers who found yet another screen in it, and not a medium of expression. 



Nevertheless, and despite its acquisition by Facebook, some romantics still continue to use it today as a means of photographic expression.
