Film Centuria Super 400 EXp. May 2007

As societies live and die, they leave behind traces of their existence; objects and artifacts of bygone times. Rarely does a society live amongst their relics; our mass consumption has granted us the opportunity to see exactly what we are leaving behind. While there is beauty in our decay, we need to find a natural balance between our coveted goods and the waste left in their wake.

This series is a compilation of photographs taken throughout michigan between 2010 and 2011. THese photographs are a culmination of travelled miles, missed expiration dates, (sub)urban sprawl, planned obsolescence, derelict lots, civic decay, and; most importantly; human waste.
