Horry County 6

“[S]tanding in these seemingly empty places, you never know if someone had been here twenty years, or twenty minutes ago.”

—Damian Stamer

In Horry County 6, Damian Stamer depicts an abandoned barn on the verge of collapse. Inspired by the buildings near his home in rural North Carolina, the deteriorating structure unveils the inevitable passage of time and traces of a forgotten human presence. [64]
