Artist and writer James Bridle has been preoccupied for the last decade by a strange mission: to find the real-life counterparts of the people who appear in the architectural renderings that appear on hoardings around our cities. These photos were probably taken for a stock database, and now they live forever, suspended in the imagination of a space. James, who’s now based in Athens, calls them the “Render Ghosts”, and his long-running search – culminating in a recent installation in London – makes for a fascinating story about art and civilisation, at a time when the carefully sculpted ideals of our urban future are coming into conflict with the real lives people lead in cities.
