Ilit Azoulay creates meticulously detailed imaginary environments by combining pictures that she's taken inside buildings slated for demolition with photographs of materials salvaged from the sites.  In the extraordinary four-part panorama "Room #8," which is more than thirty-two feet long, she arranged the objects and images along a white stucco wall, as if for museum display.  Although certain elements (a curtained window, a potted plant) look unremarkable, others are clearly out of scale; an enormous shard of rock looks monumental near a constellation of metal fragments.  Three additional pictures open up Azoulay's space into something that resembles Kurt Schwitters's marvelous Merzbau.
