The Right Spin

A Russian photographer as has provided us with haunting images of abandoned structures throughout his home. There were to be many different things. Mighty industrial complexes, a children's camp, a hospital that never got a chance to cure anyone. I can understand the artist's obsession with these places. There's a timelessness to them. They speak volumes about the age from which they were born. I suppose you could call them modern ruins. We gaze in awe of the classical structures in Rome and Greece and the castles of the British Isles because they give us a glimpse into the past. This Russian artist gives us a glimpse into what our civilization will leave behind to be gazed upon hundreds of years from now. While facinating it seems less breathtaking than what the Romans, Greeks and other ancient civilizations left for us. Maybe there's a lesson in that.

NOTE: I'd trackback The Right Spin about this butthey don't have them!
