The work of Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre is not only taking pictures of ruins, it is the memory of humanity… It reminds me “I am legend” amazing city were human being is gone… But this is real… They explain it better than me :

Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies
and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension.

The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at
some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires.
This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time :
being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things.

Photography appeared to us as a modest way
to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.”
