About the Book

Les êtres humains ont toujours été fascinés par les ruines des sociétés qui les ont précédés. Le désir de mieux comprendre notre passé pousse les archéologues, les artistes et les savants du monde entier à étudier les vestiges d'époques révolues dans l'espoir d'en saisir toute la mystique et la beauté. Lancé pour documenter la grandeur et la décadence du système des hôpitaux publics du pays, le projet États-Unis abandonnés s'est rapidement élargi à d'autres lieux en déshérence: usines, friches industrielles, écoles, églises, centrales thermiques, cliniques, prisons, installations militaires, hôtels, stations balnéaires, logements... À travers ses récits et ses photographies, son auteur, Matthew Christopher, a passé les dix dernières années à immortaliser les ruines de l'une des plus grandes civilisations que le monde ait jamais connu: la nôtre. À la découverte de lieux comme les ruines calcinées de l'hôtel Do De, les cellules rouillées de l'annexe de la prison du comté d'Essex, les restes majestueux de l'église de la Transfiguration ou les reliques étranges de la loge des Elks de New Castle, ses photographies nous plongent dans des monuments d'architecture laissés en proie aux éléments et, trop souvent, déjà perdus à jamais. À travers son travail, Matthew Christopher envoie un message fort sur le chômage, la déliquescence des villes, le contexte artistique et architectural d'édifices emblématiques ainsi que la transmission et la conservation du patrimoine. En plein marasme économique, dans le sillage de l'effondrement de l'industrie aux États-Unis, ces questions n'ont jamais été aussi d'actualité pour saisir l'identité américaine. « Suspendus au seuil de la vie et de la mort, les édifices immortalisés par Christopher rayonnent d'un silence qui en dit long. Ces photos semblent nous confier un secret extraordinaire. » Jane Derenowski, journaliste, NBC Nightly News
About the Author: Matthew Christopher has had an interest in abandoned sites since he was a child, but started documenting them a decade ago while researching the decline of the state hospital system. While he originally had no formal education in photography, Matthew has recently completed his MFA in Fine Art Photography. He has had gallery shows across the US, been featured on NBC Nightly News, lectured on abandoned spaces and mental health history for the Pennsylvania State Museum, Preservation Pennsylvania, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and others, and his work has been in several publications/media outlets including Photographer's Forum, the Weather Channel, The Huffington Post, the International Journal of Arts and Humanities and the United Nations Chronicle. His website, abandonedamerica.us, has gained international attention and is considered one of the leading collections of images of abandoned spaces on the internet.
