DOI: 10.1080/2373566X.2022.20925302373-566Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/58271This photographic essay explores how obsolete smokestacks were recast as postindustrial monuments in the urban design-led “reconstruction” of Barcelona since the 1970s. Within the context of the “long goodbye” of deindustrialization, the accompanying text traces how industrial chimneys were re-signified and monumentalized. The images, result of a photographic survey of all remaining smokestacks in the city, frame these industrial obelisks within the transformation of their surrounding landscapes. They constitute a key element of an ongoing investigation melding creative practice and qualitative research, in which I argue that serial photography and participatory curatorial practice can elucidate the ambivalent experiences of deindustrialization.application/pdfeng© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in GeoHumanities on 2023, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/2373566X.2022.2092530.info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/2373566X.2022.2092530BarcelonaDeindustrializationMonumentalizationPhotographyPostindustrialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
