'Rarely doeas a picture centre so insistently on a tablula rasa as open as this, although the photographer's sub-text in South Kensington is more than likely the future centripetally arranged and ready to crowd in towards inscription. They void's only participant thus far seems to be Everyman in a hat feebly shielding his eyes in reaction to what could easily be taken for a racist taunt or observation. OFF LICENCE appears to figure also in the picture's meaning, probably in relation to 'The Denmark', as the other piece of reading-matter on offer; with the one serving as a token of a new ubiquitous culture of non-places while the other, sculpted and inscribed, embodies the values of an antecedent culture in which identities were more firmly lodged and specific.'
