On a first level, in the realm of poetry, Brazen Fair Ends clearly draws from lyricism. In other words, it is intended to evoke emotions in its visitors, both by being immersive and by bringing some surprises, such as a piano on the roof of a building, which certainly adds some romanticism to the remains of a place that has seen better days. The decline which is portrayed there clearly tries to create a nostalgic atmosphere, appealing to the feelings of people who walk around the town.
On a second level, what I mean by “the poetics of decay” is a certain drama which is enacted in the town. A place which is converting into ruins tells us a story: worn-out buildings give us testimonies of a process, rusty cars show us that time is passing, broken benches on a public square indicate that things suffer the consequences of different forces.
