Abandoned Places

Cover-ups and mysteries, are they a mix of wishful thinking and fantasy that grips the attention of millions of people: was JFK assassinated? Why did the all-powerful Mayans decline so rapidly? Is Area 51 really the site of an alien landing? All these and more are explored in this fascinating new book, a visual feast of mystery and imagination.

This exotic, powerful new book evokes the eerie, haunted places around the world that retain small touches of humanity: a spill of pottery fragments, a car with only one wheel, a battered doll, torn shirts on a washing line, a broken ferris wheel, all of them are shattered dreams that dwell now only in the imagination.

The lost dreams of humanity are captured in this evocative exploration of abandoned buildings, a people struck down by calamity or neglect, then over-run by time and nature, as the planet moves slowly to regain its supremacy against the noisy, our mechanical clatter. The incredible new book explores the half-life of abandoned interiors.
