The Ruin Lust exhibition includes works provoked by the wars of the twentieth century, and Jane and Louise Wilson’s 2006 photographs of the Nazis’ defensive Atlantic Wall form part of it. They discuss what motivated them to create these images and what draws artists to the ruinous monuments of the past.
