Distorted Facade.

Paris Billboard
distorted façade in Paris

More and more house owner gain income from selling their house's façade: large-scale billboards on building's scaffold are familiar pictures in (European) cities (see Commercialised Cities. Large-Scale Scaffold Billboards). Owners usually have to combine the advertisement with a partially photocopy of the original façade. In this example in Paris you haven’t got advertisement: it’s a distortion of the building behind.
