City of Ledgers

A wide aerial view of an old city where hundreds of clotheslines hung with thousands of ledger pages cross every street and rooftop to the horizon; tiny colored figures move in the streets below.

The vastness test. A district where every street and rooftop is crossed with lines of hanging ledger pages, dense to the horizon, with no edge to the frame in any direction. The tiny figures keep their colors; the records stay paper-pale. Made by a model the practice used exactly twice; both results hang in this room. The question the image asks quietly: if every household's ledger were visible from above, what would your street look like?
