Have you heard anything about Detroit? No, not about the center of the American car industry, which "burst", and not even about the one that is written about in history books or in the news. And about modern Detroit. In this review, a series of colorful photographs of Alejandro Santiago, which he called "Welcome to Detroit." He commented on his project as follows: "Look behind the abandoned buildings and you will see that this is still the most soulful American city, filled with history, Art Deco architecture, street art and the warmest people."
