Some people say that from modernity there’s nothing left but ruins. That the acceleration of the speed of accumulation methods have sent it to the chest of memories. And there’s someone who dedicates to search for the graphic testimony of this progressive eldering. In Modern Ruins, Shaun O’Boyle and Wendy Lewis O’Boyle dedicate to the recopilation of photographic testimony of these locations in ruins, that no for nothing correspond to some of modernity’s most representative places: factories, railway stations, assylums, hospitals. Sunk in abandonment, the image of these places, once full of life, cause a particular nostalgia for an order of things that today seems intimate. Nothing like the kind image of memories to make you forget that in those places some of the worst kinds of modernity domination were executed (via Space and Culture).

By the way, in the main page of the site, you can find an interesting sample of travel pictures. Maybe, some of the places in ruins photographed by the O’Boyle will get to become some sort of modern form of domination.
A shopping center or mall, for example. Or a stride by expensive restaurants. Who knows.
