Zuma #11 1978

"Zuma #11" (1978) by John Divola is a poignant photograph capturing the aftermath of a fire. The image reveals a charred interior, with a view of the ocean visible through a broken window. The blackened walls, debris, and remnants of furniture evoke a sense of loss and decay. Divola’s series “Zuma” features photographs of abandoned and destroyed buildings along the California coastline, exploring themes of time, decay, and the impact of human activity on the environment.
