Days Gone By: Roadside Photographs of the American South - Hardcover
The faded remnants of a glorious past are captured in all their morbid beauty, in images that manifest the ephemeral and go beyond all conventional associations and conceptions of the American South: This title combines carefully crafted photographs from the past ten years with a cultural history of the region’s social and structural changes. With an unflinching gaze, Jörg Rubbert presents the demise of countless small towns between Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, their suffering particularly tangible following the financial crisis. Rural towns, idyllic at first glance, are soon revealed as forgotten relics of times long past.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Taken across Georgia, then later in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, Jörg Rubbert's photographs are 'a call to action, a powerful plea for the historical legacy they document to be embraced'. With brief notes on each area's social history, the 150 or so images capture the impact of the economic downturn of the early 21st century, depicting second-hand stores and pawnshops, deserted towns and decaying buildings, but also the glory of a faded past.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Many times over a period of ten years, Joerg Rubbert has traveled the suburban and urban spaces between Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, documenting them with his medium format camera. Small town idylls at first glance are revealed on closer inspection to be the forgotten remnants of times long past. The faded glory of the "Good Old South" is captured here, both in its morbid beauty and as a manifestation of the ephemeral. The carefully crafted images reflect unsparingly the de- mise of the South's small towns, their suffering particu- larly tangible following the financial and economic crisis. The intense colors in the images, which capture the southern sunlight, seem to jar uncomfortably with the "gray" reality they portray. Yet they act as a powerful plea not to allow the buildings and infrastructure of these places to be wholly abandoned, a call to truly embrace the historic legacy they embody. A call to action, a powerful plea for a historical legacy to be embraced and for abandoned town centers and deserted streets in the American South to be preserved and revitalized.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Zehn Jahre lang hat Jörg Rubbert immer wieder die suburbanen und urbanen Lebensräume zwischen Georgia, Mississippi und Texas bereist und mit der Mittelformat-Kamera dokumentiert. Was auf den ersten Blick nach kleinstädtischem Idyll aussieht, erweist sich bei genauerem Hinsehen als Überbleibsel aus längst vergangenen Zeiten. Der verblichene Zauber des 'Good Old South' ist Ausdruck morbider Schönheit und Faszination des Vergänglichen zugleich.Die sorgfältig komponierten Bilder spiegeln ungefiltert den Niedergang der Kleinstädte des Südens insbesondere nach der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise wider. Die starke Farbigkeit der analogen Fotos, die das besondere Licht des Südens immer wieder aufs Neue einfängt, steht erst einmal im krassen Widerspruch zur 'grauen' Wirklichkeit. Sie ist gleichzeit aber ein Plädoyer, die einzelnen Bauwerke und die Infrastruktur der Orte nicht dem Verfall preiszugeben, eine Aufforderung, sich des historischen Erbes anzunehmen.
