“GONE” commemorates the 150-year anniversary of the Civil War by documenting the abandonment of Southern culture through the neglect and deterioration of its architecture. The project also promotes historic preservation by depicting the beauty of antebellum ruins as they rise from the debris of destruction. Nell Dickerson provides the hauntingly beautiful photographs and Shelby Foote contributes the poignant text for this uniquely Southern collaboration.
