Scenery Gorn

Wherever you walk here it is hunks of buildings standing up without roofs or sides, and people living in them. Except the Ghetto, where it is just a great plain of bricks, with twisted beds, and bath tubs and sofas, pictures in frames, trunks, millions of things sticking out among the bricks. I can't understand how it could have been done...It is something so vicious I can't believe it.
— John Vachon, on Warsaw, 1946. Quoted in Savage Continent by Keith Lowe.

Keep in mind that telling whether a work is using Scenery Gorn and Scenery Porn can sometimes be confusing. Especially in settings where the abandoned ruins have long since been reclaimed by the forces of nature.
