part of a photo essay by sean hemmerle for
time entitled "the remains of detroit". this photo shows a theater, built in 1929, now used as a parking garage. the plain modernity of the cars lends the grandiosity of the ornately buttressed roof a distinctly absurdist quality that i just can't get enough of. i discovered this set of hemmerle's photos a few years back and show them to whomever will look. it's a sad and beautiful reminder of bubbles waiting to pop.
