Andrew Moore — Model T Headquarters, Highland Park, Detroit
Andrew Moore

Model T Headquarters, Highland Park, Detroit

A sweeping chromogenic print by Andrew Moore captures the vast, decaying interior of Ford's historic Highland Park plant, where the Model T was once mass-produced on the world's first moving assembly line. Dramatic shafts of natural light pierce through deteriorating windows, illuminating layers of rust, rubble, and industrial remnants that speak to both the grandeur of American manufacturing's golden age and its subsequent decline. Moore's large-format photography transforms this crumbling Detroit landmark into a hauntingly beautiful meditation on industry, innovation, and the passage of time.
