Author: Peter von zur MuehlenThis book of photographs, documenting urban and suburban architecture from the seventies and eighties, uncovers the hidden, abstract, even painterly be auty found in America’s of - ten-overlooked, seedy industrial back alleys and passageways. The book is also a record of a time and of real—though now mostly redeveloped—places, provoking an inevitable sense of nostalgia.In many scenes, the images depict not random signs and residues of human activity but intentional messages and visions expressed through architecture, advertising, graffiti, and even art, occasionally imbuing the subject with an unintended surrealism.ISBN 9781966515739.
