Automat, 1927 by Edward Hopper. A young girl sits alone at a cafe with a solemn look on her face.
Two men walking in a street with buildings along the sidewalks. There is a younger man in a yellow shirt walking towards the camera while the older man is walking away with his back turned. The word “Devagar” is written in large white words on the street.

SECTION 6—Urban Fabric
A small, black hand shaped knocker on a cracked red door.

Heurtoirs d’Aix-en-Provence, France

There is a man sitting in a chair on a brick sidewalk. He is covering his face with his hand.

Plaza

Sunlight shines into the deserted floor of a dilapidated building. The dirty concrete floor is crumbling and the ceiling is missing a few tiles. It is clear this decaying building has been long abandoned.

Verschwinden (Disappear)

A mannequin with wooden hands stands in front of a sun like mirror. An urban setting can be seen in the reflection of the glass.

Ghosts-in-the-Machine

The front of a building with two two trees on either side of the entrance. To the right, a wall has the words "FUCK YOUR CITY" spray painted on it.

City Memos

An open window casts shadows against a red wall in Seattle.

Windows

Three multi-colored bricks meet at a perfect corner.

Marble & Tar
