La Redoute, Lille, France Possibly 1989 - 2006

"La Redoute, Lille, France" is a photograph taken by American photographer Lewis Baltz sometime between 1989 and 2006. The image shows a sterile, industrial interior with rows of large, white, rectangular server cabinets. One cabinet door is open, revealing a complex network of cables. Baltz is known for his photographic documentation of the effects of industrialization on the built environment. This photograph, with its stark composition and minimalist style, is characteristic of his approach to portraying modern architecture and technology, and their impact on the human landscape.
