Detroit – Now And Then

Detroit est une ville américaine qui a été gravement touchée par la crise. Avec cette série « Now and Then », Detroiturbex a repris des images du Cass Technical High School abandonné et délabré puis a incrusté de vieux clichés pris au même endroit pendant les années fastes de l’établissement aujourd’hui démoli.

Now and Then

Per aumentare la consapevolezza delle sfide sociali ed economiche della città di Detroit, il sito Detroiturbex esplora e fotografa edifici abbandonati e luoghi dentro e intorno alla città. Uno dei suoi progetti più recenti si concentra sulla scuola Lewis Cass Technical High, che ha avuto il suo edificio devastato da un grande incendio nel 2007. Grazie alla combo di vecchie fotografie della scuola con nuove visioni del edificio abbandonato, ci offre uno sguardo del prima e del dopo. Impressionante.
