Moving Out (Detroit)
Archival inkjet prints on Kodak Endura Lustre paper
2009
Visual representations of abandonment and dereliction have become the dominant symbols of Detroit, Michigan. These images draw our attention to the aesthetics of abandonment through the presentation of decaying structures, but they rarely address the processes leading to dereliction. When the processes do happen to be addressed – as by an introductory essay or through interwoven material – an assumption of the macro causes of abandonment typically imbues the image with a meaning that is disconnected from the reality of the documented place. After all, while (the typically assumed) limited resources certainly cause dereliction, it is also caused by other processes, such as municipal efforts to redevelop a community through building clearance.
I directly address the problems inherent in such representation by creating a linear visual narrative of what happens to a house when a family abandons it for another home. In this representation, photographs of five distinct Detroit buildings are used as stand-ins for the stages of dereliction of an individual building. The use of multiple buildings, rather than time series photographs of a single case, calls attention to the act of narrative construction. Without the same building to connect the images, the viewer must evaluate the relationship between the buildings in order to assess the piece. In so doing, I hope the viewer contemplates the presented dereliction narrative but also contemplates the process of narrative construction and the specific circumstances of each subject building.
