Buildings standing along a city street.

Work

Anyone can produce
numbers in a catalogue.

No one can produce a building that has stood for years.

Repelling not only water but oil is what sets XOP apart. The difference shows most clearly where oil is unavoidable, such as a kitchen doorway.

These are record photographs of the work. Because the camera positions are not aligned, they are not fixed-point photographs. That is why the records we start from here are kept from the same position, at the same angle.
