In her photographs and texts, German photographer Franziska Klose (born 1977) represents the city of Detroit as an overlay of social and natural history, depicting a landscape absolutely consumed by industry. What was once celebrated as the \"Motor City\" is now described by the media using slogans such as \"ruin porn\" and \"future city.\" Snapshots of vacant land and overgrown lots highlight the structure of contemporary Detroit, which remains a manifestation of social inequality, despite all the conjurations of an imminent economic boom. The story of the \"comeback\" is set against land speculation and water shutoffs, contrasting with the emergence of a potential post-growth society based on urban agriculture and individual autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959054683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.90h x 9.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Franziska Klose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40494054703285,"sku":"9783959054683","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d3c23d1b-7ccf-40b6-8a92-448f7d5cd817.jpg?v=1626157708","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/franziska-klose-detroit-field-notes-from-a-wild-city-9783959054683","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
