The melancholy documentary photos of Detroit by the Parisian artists Marchand and Meffre are so incredibly sad. They collaborated on this effort to document the historic mummification of urban landmarks in this once glorious city. Their photographs are beautifully haunting. And profoundly upsetting, especially for those of us within an hours drive of these subjects. There is a underlying question that remains unanswered - do we let the ruins live or do we take back the city and make it live once again? Click through the pictures and tell me what you see. - l.o.d.
