Stockholm’s Gun Gallery presents a series of photographs by Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre detailing the decline of the Motor City’s once great downtown.
The story line isn’t new but the images are nonetheless stirring. Crumbling ballrooms and wasted apartments open a window to the sad realities of urban devolution.
Without the rejuvenating narrative of art, the works of Marchand and Meffre can focus only on degradation. Affecting, but ultimately more documents of time than anything else.
The exhibition runs from the 27th August until 19th September 2010.
