Toronto Behind the Boarding
The demolition signs around part of Toronto"s Junction foretell the imminent doom of the Bunge industrial complex. The company produced a variety of edible food oils, and the complex itself housed both the administrative as well as the production side of its business. A fire previous to its closure ensured that the aesthetic environment of the abandoned premises would include much of the complex"s content: the tools of both blue and white collar workers. These items - some of which are severely fire-damaged - suggest the chaos of the building"s final days. Besides offering some incredible views of the city (and some really nifty machines), the building gave the impression that the workers were merely on a long, auspicious break.
