Industrial Waste

Here are some pretty natty photos of the Santiago urban jungle that, whilst conveying a strong sense of industrial decay, are rather striking and contain the essence of what I am trying to achieve with this blog: namely portray the city's dark heart and its leftfield cultural identity. This is the work of Chilean photographer Catalina de la Cruz. She says of her work:

'Moving the capacity to feel some kind of fantastic, vital and unnameable pleasure, this other urban landscape unfurls through subtle details, elements decontextualised from their function and reason: images that stay suspended in me like experiences inter-sensory. Urban landscape always ephemeral, always mutating, always being determined randomly, and the infinite relation of its brief parts and fragments, the emotions and senses that are granted to every spectator´.

So you can make of that what you will. Here are the photos.
