Any artists that deal with decay?

Question

Im looking for artists that do work that involves decay, preferably not food =].

However what I really would like is artists that combine modern day things with decay, sort of like Chris Cornish but err.. more arty. So like destroyed building and things. But like I said any decay artist is good because im really stuck!

Thanks!

It's maybe not quite what you're looking for but you might find the work of Ivan Albrightinteresting, and Peter Greenaway's film ZOO has some good sequences of decay. Can't think of any artists who's work is primarily about urban decay but for destroyed buildings and the like you might investigate war artists.
