As a response to lack of archive and accessibility to information on the first train station in Alexandria. The project proposes a series of absurd scenarios that hypothetically led to the abandonment of the building. Taken photographs of the building architecture were inserted within illustrations from "El Maarefa" magazine. A 1970's magazine that was distributed in kiosks and was regarded as an alternative education platform. The magazine is presented as facts opposing the lack of information.
