Seeing in 3D.......

...disarray

 ......disorder

 ....decay

 There is so much beauty in the 3D's - disarray, disorder and decay. These pics from Marchand and Meffre are stunning in their bleak simplicity but....a question remains. Do you think a little artistic license was taken here perhaps? Doesn't shot 1 remind you of some decaying lobby from a hotel designed by M. Phillipe Starck? Would all these historically disparate chairs really have been found in one room? No matter - never has urban blight looked more compelling!

Window, window in the wall...

...who is the scariest of them all! Well quite obviously it's the one in the middle. Ponte City was built in the 1970's in Johannesburg, South Africa. In those days Ponte City was the 'it' place to live in the city but during the 80's it fell into disrepute as the original tenants took flight for the outer suburbs. Until recently garbage covered the inner courtyard up to five stories high - talk about trashy architecture!
