Fiat Lux: 51 Photographs by Andrew Ross

More about the book

Featuring beautifully lit, atmospheric photographs of dilapidated buildings, industrial settings, and domestic interiors, this unique record highlights the vanishing components of New Zealand. A collaboration between the photographer and five writers, this handbook features handpicked photographs accompanied by short essays examining the city of Wellington and its endangered buildings. Each photograph focuses on a particular theme—including the exploration of workshops, environmental portraits, and specific buildings demolished for highway expansion—and illustrates the fate of a metropolis.
