I spent several days photographing around this dilapidated colonial building near Malaysia’s largest port. A major highway was built from the loading docks, bypassing this little town, with busy roads and flyovers splitting into two levels before swooping past (a few feet away) the windows and doorways of the building. The loud and heavy traffic of container trucks trundling by over the years has literally squeezed the life out of this once beautiful and historic building, now only a flicker of its former self. Only this mechanic’s garage—where I met Gopal, working late into the night servicing scooters—seemed to be doing quite well. When I left to go back to my car, I passed empty shop lots, a run-down cafe with barely a customer, followed by more boarded-up shop fronts, and finally a brothel, its dark entrance next to the charred remains of a store. As I look up at the gaping roof, I see the sky and the roots of a banyan tree growing along the walls of its crumbling interior. #malaysia #banyan #dereliction」12月14日 0時37分
