There is something resoundingly beautiful about the ruins of our recent past. The history and stories trapped inside objects that have fallen into ruin in the last hundred years seem to tweak a sense of something like nostalgia or memory, but different and less definable. Certainly in design and photography in recent times decay and ruin have become vogue. The online exhibition of work by Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre’s photographs of Detroit’s post-auto industry ruins features some of the most astounding photographic work online. The memory in the buildings documented and the organic nature of the decay gives an unworldy and even post-apocalyptic feel to a city which is still operating and inhabited.
The word decay comes from the Anglo-French decair, meaning “to fall” or “decline”. The idea of things falling into ruin, tumbling off a position of usefulness, decadence or stature is the idea that applies to the fading modern history that is beautiful and marked as a point of inquisition or interest.
Decline, falling, or the harshness of the word “decay” can bring a lot of weight with it. Decayed teeth are not an attractive thought, and decay in a new home is something to be wary of and to be resolved quickly. But within the idea of objectivity, decay could mean a transformation from function to form.
Back to the chairs!
