  atoposes, poetic spaces, and modern ruins: surrealist urban exploration, industrial archaeology
Compared to other parts of the "civilized" world, the abandoned elements of California are very, very modern, with relatively little history when compared with ruins found on the East Coast of the United States, or some of the ruined places in Europe or perhaps the extremely ancient sites in the Middle East, for example.
In their own special way, these places poetically serve to frame the period of industrial stagnation (and capitalist decline, in many places) — the era of right now — in a way that suggests that the "civilized" human needs to evolve in favor of non-exploitative and less self-destructive ways of life.
In this special light, the abandoned space represents a means of measuring the pulse of any culture, by comparing what people say and do in the solitude of ruins, with what they don't say or do in public, with all of the order and repression maintained within the latter.

 Modern Ruins Photographic Essays - Shaun O'Boyle
One of the more powerful aspect of ruins is the subject that is missing in the photographs; the people who once worked and lived in these spaces, their presence can still be felt in the architecture and discarded objects.
There is a layered meaning in these places, random pieces of a historic and social puzzle are clumped together, confused by years of decay, these ruins are an archaeology of our culture, they reveal unexpected artifacts of a past that seems distant and foreign.
Modern ruins exist in the fringe landscapes of our cities, places that were once hardwired to the center of the social and industrial infrastructure, now they have become faded shadows hidden behind cyclone fences on the outskirts, along old canals and abandon rail lines.
