In
her latest exhibition, photographer Suzy Poling documents derelict
institutions and places of abandonment. Wonderland of Decay
lingers in the empty hallways of a mental hospital, recording the
shredded insulation, piles of discarded test tubes, and peeling paint
of candy-colored walls left after years of disuse. The second series,
Dead Amusements, captures upended bumper cars, faded signs, and
rusting carnival rides in
a backwoods American theme park. These two suites are so aesthetically
lavish, elegantly composed, and bathed in cool light, that one could
almost overlook the heaviness of the spaces themselves, decaying
landscapes seething with melancholy and an eerie intensity. (AMM) |
