  compare with Christo. His work such as wrapping building could be defined as "remove" this identity/history of a building. Add a new layer of memory to the existing building. on the contrary, Mural is trying to recall the memory based on the history.
  Whiteread might be a little bit far from these two, however, she is using the space (negative space instead of t he physical building form)to stimulate the memory, usually. It achieved in a monumental style with solid concrete.
  Simulacra.
  For Baudrillard, the contemporary world of signs marks a breakdown of the correspondence between the real world and the image of the world. As a consequence, we live in a world in which reality has come to be replaced by empty signs. He advances the suggestive but paradoxical thesis of a hyper-real that has no "real" beneath it.
  
  representation vs simulation
  
  1. It is the reflection of a basic reality.
  2. It masks and perverts a basic reality.
  3. It masks the absence of a basic reality.
  4. It bears no relation to any reality
  
  Venice in Vegas, Matrix film. Real is masked by simulation.
  uninterrupted circuit without reference.
