The original photograph (M1) of the streets is excluded from the work. The first piece is an acrylic (M2) copied from the photograph. Then it is photographed (M3), and then copied again (M4), and this is followed by another cycle. This long work, 10 meters in total, depicts the state we are in the contemporary society, where copies flood us but we are never allowed to see the original. In this work, the acrylic material with its inorganic, cold feel, which is later to be used by itself without photographs, creates a balanced tension against the photographs.
