About the Book

A los seres humanos siempre les han fascinado las ruinas de las civilizaciones anteriores. El deseo de entender mejor nuestro pasado es lo que mueve a los arqueólogos, artistas y sabios del mundo entero a estudiar los vestigios de épocas pasadas, con la esperanza de captar todo su misterio y su belleza. Creado para documentar la grandeza y decadencia del sistema de los hospitales públicos del país, el proyecto Estados Unidos abandonados se extendió rápidamente a otros lugares abandonados: fábricas, zonas industriales, escuelas, iglesias, centrales térmicas, hospitales, cárceles, instalaciones militares, hoteles, balnearios, viviendas... A través de sus relatos y de sus fotografías, su autor, Matthew Christopher, ha inmortalizado durante los últimos diez años las ruinas de una de las mayores civilizaciones que el mundo ha conocido jamás: la nuestra. En el descubrimiento de lugares como las ruinas calcinadas del hotel Do De, las celdas oxidadas del anexo de la prisión del condado de Essex, los majestuosos restos de la iglesia de la Transfiguración o las curiosas reliquias de la logia de los Elks de New Castle, sus fotografías nos sumergen en monumentos arquitectónicos que han quedado a merced de los elementos y que, muy a menudo, ya no tienen salvación. Matthew Christopher envía, a través de su trabajo, un mensaje contundente sobre el paro, la decadencia de las ciudades, el contexto artístico y arquitectónico de edificios emblemáticos, así como sobre la transmisión y conservación del patrimonio. En plena crisis económica, tras el colapso de la industria en Estados Unidos, estos temas nunca han cobrado tanto significado como ahora para comprender la identidad estadounidense. "Suspendidos en el umbral de la vida y de la muerte, los edificios inmortalizados por Christopher desprenden un silencio elocuente. Estas fotos parecen contarnos un extraordinario secreto". Jane Derenowski, periodista, NBC Nightly News.
