Photography book: The Ruins of Detroit by Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre
The Ruins of Detroit
Authors Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre depict in 186 amazing photos almost a century of Detroit in empty buildings, ruins and ghostly landscapes.
“Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is temporary by nature, the volatile result of the end of an era and the fall of empires. This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time: being dismayed, or admiring, wondering about the permanence of things. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.”
