Abstract
Taking Patrick Keiller’s film London (1994) as a point of reference, the author of the text wanders through the contemporary British capital, recording the changes it has undergone over the last few decades. Registering the progressive transformation, he observes that the “disappearance” of well-known places from the past signifies a kind of “disappearance” of the city preserved in his memory. Yet, at the same time it also signifies the formation of a new urban space. (Non-reviewed material).
