Looking for something that doesn’t exist.

Staring at this anonymous, neglected building I knew it was very unlikely I could go out and find it – it will have been rebuilt, built over or renovated considerably since Charmi photographed it. I could not make a scale model of this building because I was interested in where her sighting of this frontage was. The photograph she sent was of a building she saw in London in 2003, and is a link for the present work.
