THE RUINS OF DETROIT
Posted by Mike Rigby
Some lovely photography and a wonderfully written rationale for the collection:
Detroit, industrial capital of the 20th Century, played a fundamental role shaping the modern world. The logic that created the city also destroyed it. Nowadays, unlike anywhere else, the city’s ruins are not isolated details in the urban environment. They have become a natural component of the landscape. Detroit presents all archetypal buildings of an American city in a state of mummification. Its splendid decaying monuments are, no less than the Pyramids of Egypt, the Coliseum of Rome, or the Acropolis in Athens, remnants of the passing of a great Empire.

Stunning shots mate. I want to go to the motor city.
Very apocalyptic, that dentist chair picture has put me off going to the dentist for life.
