Isolated Building Study 42 (Chud's)
by David Schalliol

About the Print:

Isolated Building Study 42 (Chud’s) was taken on the South Side of Chicago in March 2009. I was out shooting for another project when the storm clouds broke and revealed the late afternoon sun — I had to stop. Like so many buildings on South Ashland, this building has been converted into an automotive supply shop.

The photograph is part of my Isolated Building Studies, a series exploring neighborhood change through the association between form and perception. Subject buildings are consistently framed to emphasize their relationship with their surroundings and to draw attention to the tension between their urban form and the absence of neighboring buildings. Examination of that tension is the starting point for a conversation about urban history and social change.
