The Remains of Modernity

by martinaolbertova

Hello all!

I have found this link (http://marchandmeffre.com/detroit/index.html) while surfing Internet lately and said to myself I just had to share this. These pictures are so stunning it would be an ultimate shame to not share them!

I myself love to reveal the beauty within things that others perceive primarily as ugly or uninteresting, I usually tend to look deeper under the scrappy surface in order to discover something more profound and meaningful and therefore beautiful. But these pictures are truly gorgeous! Sad and abandoned, but profound, ugly, but beautiful, honest in its roughness, these pictures are the silent witnesses of the time that passed us by and therefore are timeless in the message they help to convey.

They capture the downfall of modernity in the postmodern age. It feels like time has stopped in these images and therefore they are truly timeless. They’re telling us an intimate story of the people who worked, learned, lived and entertained themselves in these areas, and thanks to them these people will never be forgotten. They’re the true remains of modernity…

I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I did!

Best,

Martina
