La Redoute, Lille, France Possibly 1989 - 2006

This photograph, *La Redoute, Lille, France*, taken by Lewis Baltz, captures the sterile and functional interior of a data center. The minimalist composition features rows of blue metal cabinets, a white pillar, and a single coil of red wire on the sterile, tiled floor. Baltz was known for his photographic documentation of modern architecture and infrastructure, using a direct and objective style to explore the relationship between humans and the built environment. This photograph, taken sometime between 1989 and 2006, exemplifies his signature style, emphasizing the starkness and anonymity of technological spaces.
