The 'Girl in the Tunnel' Finds the Fella Who Put Her There

A great story in Melbourne’s The Age by way of One+One=Three, “The Girl in the Tunnel.” Fitting for either the “to pitch to This American Life” or the stencil graffiti file, it’s an account of a former model discovering herself turned into an urban piece of artwork coincidentally some thirty years later by designer Rone (his artist/tagger name). And, of course, she learns something about herself along the way. The real story here is in all this re-use of material, from music samples to old photographs, what happens when the old and new somehow meet up.
