Claire Adelfang — Les Forges
Like her photographs, Adelfang’s video work surveys industrial vestiges, bringing to bear a gaze that seems neutral and non-judgemental. The observation and documentation of abandonment invests these vestiges with a poetic power. The absence of human figures highlights the place’s loss of function and the gradual fading of these structures’ reason for existing.
