Urban Decay
by Adam Facer & Natalie Maguire
‘Urban Decay’ is a photo essay focused on rust and decay in
an urban setting. We chose rust as our theme and decay as our subtheme,
focusing mainly on the vibrant colours decayed metal can produce in a range of
urban areas. In order to depict our chosen theme and subtheme we explored local
areas such as Canoelands (near Wiseman’s Ferry) and East Ryde. We also
relocated to a more diverse location in the Northern Beaches of Sydney in order
to explore a different urban setting. To
portray the concept of everyday aesthetics that Murray explores in ‘Digital
Images, Photo-Sharing, and Our Shifting Notions of Everyday Aesthetics’, we
chose to photograph common everyday objects that had been altered by the
processes of rust and decay. The track
‘Ice & Chilli’ was found on ccmixter.org. We believe this track accompanies
our photo essay appropriately, contributing somber and gentle sounds and
contrasting strongly with the bright colours of the rust depicted in our
images.
