Memory Remains is a moving and exquisitely designed book featuring remarkable photography created by Spanish artist Francesc Torres. Torres was granted special access to visit JFK International Airport's Hangar 17 after it became the repository for all significant non-human materials salvaged from the site of the World Trade Centre after the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.
With his lifelong interest in questions of human memory and meaning, Torres creates photographs that turn twisted steel or smashed ambulances into objects of contemplation and wonder. Accompanying his chilling photographs are several pieces of writing that address the question of what place the memory of 9/11 will take in the history of the United States and the world. Published to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the event and alongside an exhibition of Torres stirring work Memory Remains is a lasting and poignant keepsake of this momentous point in history.
