内容提要：  

20多年前，英国摄影艺术家迈克尔·肯纳（Michael Kenna, 1953-）发表了一系列以福特汽车公司胭脂河工业园区为拍摄主题的作品，本书是其最新的增订版。

迈克尔·肯纳是世界上最受赞誉的黑白摄影师之一。他周游世界，以大自然和人造物品为题材，拍摄出令人惊叹的神奇图像。肯纳的摄影作品以缥缈超凡的色调和微妙的细节处理而闻名，同时，他也是环境退化这一问题的记录者。肯纳在密歇根州底特律市郊外的一家汽车厂拍摄的一系列照片，成为了其重要的代表作品。

此前早已绝版的"福特胭脂河工厂"，如今以重新设计的版本回归观众的视野。书中还包括艺术史学者詹姆斯·斯图尔特（James Steward）撰写的一篇权威论文，以及该系列中许多之前未曾出版的作品。恰逢底特律市正努力恢复其曾经作为美国商业和艺术重地的位置，这些摄影作品比以往任何时候都更能与工业景观荒凉的现状和隐性的美学产生共鸣。

More than twenty years after its initial publication, Michael Kenna’s seminal collection of photographs of the Ford River Rouge industrial complex is now available in a new, revised, and expanded edition.

One of the world’s most acclaimed photographers working exclusively in black-and-white, Michael Kenna has traveled the world to create stunning, magical images of nature and manmade objects. Known for the ethereal tone and incredibly nuanced detail of his photographs, Kenna is also a chronicler of environmental degradation. His images of an auto plant outside of Detroit, Michigan, are some of his best-known works.

Long out of print, Rouge has been brought back to life with a spectacular new design, an authoritative essay by art historian James Steward, and many previously unpublished images that were part of the original series. As the city of Detroit struggles to reclaim its heritage as an American commercial and artistic hub, these photographs resonate more than ever with the stark realities and hidden beauty of the industrial landscape.
