Facades- the simulation of reality

I went to Potsdamer Platz to take a closer look at the facades on scaffoldings over there.If you look from far away you can believe that they are real buildings.



I chose my victim, the building on the right side of the Canadian embassy.It's empty windows are simply asking to project something into them.






But it's what is inside that really matters, isn't it?
It's hard to believe that these facades do not cover any building, they actually cover an empty space and the whole scaffolding is built to so the Potsdamer Platz looks nicer, with no ugly holes between the buildings. So actually most of the people passing by are being convinced about the existence od unreal buildings. So that's how my victim looks like from the back
