SECTION 6—Urban Fabric
Several different square frames of people holding open umbrellas with different patterns, taken in aerial view.

From the Bedroom Window, Paris, France

Up close salt crystals at the top dissipatting into an unclear and blurred city scene. Dots and blurbs cover the image to distort it.

City Scenes

Street corner with a yellow firehydrant and a stop sign, the side of a building with graffiti on it, and palm trees in the background.

Goddamn Phoenix

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.
