Summary/Abstract: Photographic imagery serves as a tool to tackle the temporality and materiality of ruins that could be read through the layers of symbolic meaning in the urban landscape. The photographic representation of the material realm may suggest a sense of memory for the possible pasts, whilst provoking imaginary possible futures. A photograph as a trace, on the other hand, suggests a fragment of memory addressing both presence and absence.
