Eric Holubow has criss-crossed USA capturing forgotten landmarks amid America's inner cities
About Eric Holubow:
Being a Chicagoan, I have always been attracted to the beauty of
architecture. While some celebrate a structure’s construction, I am
drawn to its deconstruction; when these industrial, commercial and
residential buildings transition into ruins. It is at these moments when
the energy needed to preserve extinguishes; when a building’s existence
is no longer deemed viable or valuable. In these forgotten and
overlooked places, I see not just loss, tragedy, or decay, but the chaos
in which a new architect’s vision may be born.
Buildings too
have a finite existence on earth, eventually succumbing to those forces
affecting us all. But their disintegration need not be unattractive or
disgraceful, hidden before demolition. Seeing these transitions, whether
they are graceful or crude, remind us of our own mortality.
My goal is
to capture these moments.
