SHUT DOWN - Industrial Ruins in the EastIn few other places are becoming, being and passing moredramatically expressed than in shut-down factories, minesand foundries.In a total of fourteen countries Christoph Lingg tracked downnumerous industrial ruins: buildings from the textile,chemical, oil and heavy industries; processing plants forsugar and fish; brickyards and breweries - witnesses of timespast that have been left to decay.In these photographs he has captured the melancholy of abygone era. The pictures reflect not only economic developmentsand the way people related to work and the environment, butalso the identity of entire countries and regions.Three authors have approached this subject in completely differentways, guiding the reader through the industrial culture of the east:Susanne Schaber, Richard Swartz and Serhij Zhadan.
