Title supplied by cataloger. Photographer's caption reads, "A group of Woodbury University architecture students holed up in an abandoned Hollywood storefront and built a 24-foot-long model of Hollywood. The project was big; it had actually begun the previous semester. A team roamed the city making field measurements. Sheets of particle board became streets, alleys, foundations. A bandsaw chopped wood blocks into structures, accurately scaled, carefully positioned. I kept coming by. The developing model slowly, strangely superseded the actuality outside. The group began to apply digital photos to the buildings - facades of facades. They stepped back. The creation was complete, and it was good. The students hovered over Hollywood like demigods, studio heads, real estate agents."
