Urban Renewal

In Taipei, at the corner of Civic Boulevard and Linsen Road there is a building waiting to be demolished and that area incorporated into a nearby park.





 But the building has been there for a while and artists have used the boarded up windows to tell a story. Going around the building clockwise this is the sequence of paintings on the boarded up windows. Like a comic strip.















I don't know the meaning of the sequence, something about destruction of the old and the chaos of the new. The main character looks like Beevis or maybe it's Butthead. Any ideas?

  1. It is a bit odd--like a dream sequence. I don't know how to interpret it. Thanks for sharing the photos.
