Urbanus I 2002

"Urbanus I" is a 2002 photograph by French artist Iseult Labote, depicting the detail of an industrial structure. The image focuses on the rusting metal beams of a bridge, capturing the erosion and deterioration of the structure. The composition is simple, highlighting the texture and color variations of the rusted metal, with a muted palette of white and brown. Labote's work often explores urban environments and the passage of time, inviting viewers to reflect on the ephemerality of structures and the beauty found in decay.
