Buildings

I appreciate your collapsing of time to illustrate what changes, and what stays when talking about housing in particular. For instance, I could hear an argument for attuning to humanity itself when considering discourse surrounding homelessness. However, with this image, you focus not only the juxtaposition of time, but also the infrastructural presence of homeless communities, not through human bodies, but through the tents that house them. 

Narrow: Brunswig Building/Homeless Encampment

This contiguous Brunswig building image fascinating for the commentary on the passage of time, how the building still stands. I appreciate the care in juxtaposing these images so that the building maintains its shape across the border of the separate photographs. What is not yet clear to me - yet - in this wonderful photo essay, is just what the figure of toxicity is, or, what the figures of toxicity are.
