This artist’s book offers a profound portrayal of contemporary Detroit, a city caught between deindustrialization and the promise of revival. Through Franziska Klose’s evocative photographs and insightful texts, the work captures the city's decaying landscape, where overgrown lots and abandoned structures serve as both symbols of social inequality and potential for transformation. In juxtaposing images of urban decline with emerging movements toward sustainability and self-reliance, the book explores Detroit’s complex identity as a place of both ruin and reinvention.
