The lost documents of an abandoned 19th century railway station in Alexandria are taken as an opportunity  to make fictional hypothesis for the destruction of the railway building. By inserting  the images of the building within a magazine called "Knowledge" "المعرفة", which was a trusted source of information in the 1970's gives credibility to the new narrative created by the artist.
