An intriguing collection of photos of abandoned petrol stations.
Sometimes about all that remains of many of the forgotten stations are the canopies over the station forecourt.
Tabuchi’s work captures abandoned, rusting, toxic-leaking architectural ruins that blight the landscape and roadscapes of France. In a spirit very much akin to Ruscha’s, Tabuchi photographed these abandoned gasoline stations in a flat, objective style, showing them just as plainly as they exist. If there is a moral argument to the story, Tabuchi leaves it to the viewer to decide.
