1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Modernity is contradictory and unstable, the image of a city is also comprised of a dual construct that is variable and dynamic, forming an intersection of ‘order’ and ‘chaos’.

Instead, each image transforms what was once a familiar sight into an unaccustomed cityscape.         Copyright 2007 FOIL CO., Ltd. And IANNBOOKS. All Rights Reserved.
