I am wondering if there is any connection between this project and Tokyo Nobody by Masataka Nakano http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Nobody-Masataka-Nakano/dp/489815

  Thanks for that. The London photos made me think of empty mini-mall photos taken in LA by Cathy Opie. Here's an example: http://arttattler.com/Images/NorthAmerica/NewYork/Guggenheim/Catherine%20Opie/4_Untitled_01_6.5MG.jpg http://arttattler.com/Images/NorthAmerica/NewYork/Guggenheim... They were shot in black and white, and when shown in a gallery context, they are very large (4 feet wide or so). She used a similar technique -- show up early in the morning (like 4am) and be patient. She had do it late enough to be after the clubgoers, junkies, and criminals were asleep, but before regular people were awake. You can google "cathy opie mini mall series" -- she's better known for her earlier, transgressive lesbian/body images.
