Summary:

From his images of the Chateau of Versailles under restoration to the faded grandeur of Havana, to scenes of devastation from Chernobyl after the nuclear explosion and a New Orleans ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, Robert Polidori is drawn to detritus, shattered worlds and elegant ruin. Often considered an architectural photographer, Polidori captures more than buildings: his highly detailed views of interiors evoke both the intimate and the mysterious, wherein the humanity of these photos is felt in its very absence, in the traces left behind in vacant spaces once inhabited. This book is a sampling of Polidori's many famous projects created from the artist's own selection of more than one hundred photographs. The result is a compendium of Polidori's twenty-eight year career and a visual exploration of the liminal space between past and present, of worlds on the brink of disappearance.
