		<description>Yes it does appear to be floating! I suppose in mitigation in those times photo retouching was a painstaking task with no gimp or photoshop!</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a point of view that the backstory to the creation process isn&#039;t part of the work itself and is irrelevant. The meaning of an artwork must arise from the piece alone.

Personally, I think things are more complicated than that. Each work of art (though I haltingly apply that to &quot;Hung&quot;) has its own cloud of context hanging around its head and the backstory to why a setting was selected certainly sits in that cloud. Still, I&#039;d say the context of what Detroit has come to mean in this time is hugely powerful, even overpowering, when considering works set in that city, even those set in times prior to Detroit&#039;s slide to decrepitude. Now that we know what&#039;s happened, there will be a sense of foreboding to any story set there historically.</description>

		<description>Ha, I suppose so but as far as I can tell his situation has little or nothing to do with Detroit&#039;s economic decline.</description>
