The lower half of the office building at right was being renovated. Huge temporary display panels, displaying advertisements, hide the work. The largest panel promotes an adventure movie, featuring a young hero brandishing what appears to be a magic wand. I contrast this massive ad to the array of old and new skyscrapers looming around it. The building at left, now a posh hotel, was built in the 19th century. Its peaked roof and tiny windows offer us a dreamlike vision of a long vanished world, lost within a sea of modern glass. The incongruously ad is pure fantasy, while the background offers a varied look at a city in constant change. By converting this image to black and white, the advertisement blends with the buildings and becomes part of that change. It is as if the young man with the wand is creating this dream-like scene for us.
