Behind the scenes of Broken Monsters
Photos from Lauren’s research trip to Detroit
The Packard Plant, Detroit. ‘The number one Death-of-America pilgrimage destination.’
‘Shakespeare would have it wrong these days. It’s not the world that’s the stage - it’s social media.’
‘She keeps looking back in the mirror, hoping to see her mom, who has gone now, disappeared into the terrible building with its blacked-out windows and broken glass.’ (Fisher Body Plant, Detroit.)
‘The window of Rocket Coffee gives Jonno the perfect view of the Michigan Central Train Station. The Acropolis of Detroit. Some genius suggested preserving the iconic ruins. That’s what everyone’s here for, anyway. To gawp at the broken buildings and take their portraits.’
‘I’m sorry Jay Woody. I didn’t mean for this to happen.’ Interview room. Former police station on Beaubien, Detroit
The old precinct on Beaubien, Detroit
‘Party Animal House.’ The Heidelberg Project, Detroit
‘They end up at an apartment block in the city centre at three in the morning … a man leans out an upstairs window and throws the keys, attached to a plastic bag so they come parachuting down.’
‘In front of her is the kiln and whatever’s inside. It’s huge, shaped like a sarcophagus, with a curved roof and chalky white bricks, scorched in places, and gas canisters and pipes down the side. It’s framed in black iron, with a metal rod handle, and rails to pull it out on, marked with yellow and black hazard stripes. Old-school industry, this.’
