Former Michigan Central Rail Road Station, Detroit, 2013. This Detroit landmark was called "The Eiffel Tower of ruin photography" by John Leary in 2011. And as writer Geoff Dyer remarked: âI tried to imagine all this commotion, but could not. Ruins do not encourage the viewer to dwell on what they were like in their heyday. The Colosseum in Rome or the amphitheatre at Leptis Magna have never been anything but ruins. They are eternal ruins. And it's the same here. This building could never have looked more magnificent than it did now. Rather than make you think of the past, ruins direct you towards the future. The effect is almost prophetic. This is what the future will end up like. This is what the future has always ended up looking like.â Geoff Dyer, âDetroit: Where The Wheels Came Offâ¦â The Observer, July 8, 2000
