Scott Conarroe is well known for his social landscapes and how the built-environment of North America's industrial golden age is inhabiting the present. Here, he shows us the open hearth stacks from the U.S. Steel's Homestead Steel Works plant (which closed in 1987), looming above the empty parking lot of what is now an open air mall. Combining long exposures, deep depth of field and "latitudes of light," Conarroe gives us a rigorous yet elegiac vision of Pittsburgh's former industrial glory.
