MONUMENTS | Alan Gignoux & Chloe Juno
“Opencast coal mining has led to the destruction of hundreds of German villages over the last century. Although Germany has promised to phase out coal by 2038, extraction continues and the future of several villages hangs in the balance. Combining Alan Gignoux’s photographs of abandoned houses and Chloe Juno’s images of the personal belongings left behind by departing families, Monuments documents and commemorates communities in North-Rhine Westphalia earmarked for demolition.”
Wire-bound and full bleed, MONUMENTS puts to the page what makes a community, a community - and what we leave behind when it is time to go. Homes, gardens, schools, shops, churches, and businesses line the streets of this German ghost town as it sits in death row.
Chloe is a dear friend of the Death Ray, a supporter from day one. It’s such a pleasure to have her beautiful work in store.
