In Russian, the Article Reads:

Знаменитый своим промышленным прошлым и не менее известный своими проблемами в настоящем, американский мегаполис продолжает притягивать внимание фотографов. На этот раз мы представляем работы Jennifer Garza-Cuen, которая, являясь племянницей ведущего инженера-архитектора Детройта, попыталась увидеть прошлое и почувствовать возможное будущее знаменитого города.

Напомним, что Детройт - город на севере США в штате Мичиган. Был основан в 1701 года и в XX веке стал одним из богатейших городов Америки и крупным автопромышленным центром – здесь находились предприятия Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, В 70-х годах из-за нефтяного и энергетического кризиса, этнических и прочих, свойственных современным городам, проблем, Детройт пришёл в упадок, многие его заводы закрылись, а целые районы города оказались заброшенными. От почти двухмиллионного населения города в 50-х года прошлого века осталось порядка 700 тысяч жителей.

Говоря о причинах, вдохновивших её на создание этой серии, Дженифер отметила, что она провела зиму в городе вместе со своим дядей. Несмотря на холодную погоду, из-за которой большую часть времени ей пришлось провести внутри дома, Дженифер удалось найти время и погожие дни, чтобы побродить среди руин, ветшающих высотных зданий, пустырей и представить, как выглядел Детройт в эпоху своего расцвета.

Famed for its industrial past and the equally well-known for its problems in the present, the American metropolis continues to attract the attention of photographers. This time we present the work of Jennifer Garza-Cuen, which, being the niece of a leading engineer-architect of Detroit tried to see past and feel the possible future of the famous city.

Recall that Detroit - a city in the north of the United States in Michigan. It was founded in 1701 and in the XX century became one of the richest cities in America and a major automotive center - there were companies Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, in the 70s due to the oil and energy crises, ethnic or other characteristic of the modern city , problems, Detroit fell into decay, many of its factories were closed, and the whole areas of the city have been abandoned. From the nearly two million population of the city in the 50s of the last century left around 700 thousand inhabitants.

Speaking about the reasons that inspired her to create the series, Jennifer said that she had spent winters in the city with her uncle...
