Scott Lapham, Salvatore Mancini, and Michael Cevoli train their cameras on former manufacturing landscapes, where mill buildings that could not be repurposed for the newer economy have been demolished or left to crumble. They capture the effects of capital flight, which has devastated local economies and once-thriving communities, in the urban landscapes of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, where the three photographers live and work. Lapham’s Providence Cold Storage No. 1, Demolished 1999 freezes an in-progress demolition.
