Those are fantastic pictures, and fantastic installations.

It reminds me of how they once filmed a horror movie in my hometown and dressed up a long-abandoned downtown street as a nightmare ghost town. Some friends and I went walking along there one night during filming, peering into the empty storefronts and looking at all the creepy set dressing - and periodically being reminded by each other that, no, all those water-damaged, leering mannequin heads lurking menacingly in the darkness of the old hairdressing shop had always been there.

(Honestly, nothing the film crew could do was sadder or more off-putting than the reality, which was that a few years prior the city had painted fake store fronts all down that street, with the silhouettes of fake 1950s-styled customers inside.)
