Through the lens of photographer Joanna Wzorek.

She recently self-published a zine titled Summer, Farewell as an homage to her homeland. We caught up with Wzorek when she brought her bold eye to fashion stories in Wallpaper’s November 2021 Art Special issue (on newsstands and available to subscribers), and she talked about tight cropping, compassionate audiences and what’s on her cultural radar. Wallpaper*: Describe your style and process Joanna Wzorek: My practice is based on emotions that I express through bright colours and bold compositions.

James kerwin reveals beirut's derelict architecture in 'a paradise lost' Following world war II, beirut became known as ‘the paris of the middle east’ due to its french-colonial architecture and vibrant culture, which drew tourists, intellectuals and investors to the lebanese capital. however, this boom period ended in 1975 with the outbreak of civil war and since then the country has been further marked by various conflicts. after researching the country’s complex history, photographer james kerwin embarked on a trip to lebanon to document the derelict, yet beautiful buildings that have been left behind.

Gare de Canfranc - Exploration de la gare abandonnée. Crumbling Abandoned Villas Photographed with Large Format Camera. A Compendium of Abandoned Greenhouses. Walking on the walls of the 1980s NYC subway. Between 1988 and 1990, photographer Steven Siegel and his friends made regular visits to a junkyard in Jersey City, New Jersey, just across the water from the Statue of Liberty. This junkyard was filled with derelict and haphazardly piled MTA subway cars, drenched in colorful graffiti, some of the last vestiges of a bygone era for the city. In the mid-'80s, the MTA had gone to war against graffiti, upgrading the act from a nuisance to a crime, and instituting a policy where any car tagged with spray paint was immediately taken out of service and cleaned. The city officially declared victory over train graffiti on May 12, 1989.
The junkyard was neither fenced in nor guarded, allowing Siegel and his friends to explore at their leisure, climbing and playing on the retired cars and making surreal photos. Unfortunately for photographers interested in post-apocalyptic settings, the junkyard is no longer used by the MTA. For more historical images of New York City, visit Siegel's Flickr page.

She is epically talented. I’ve followed her work for some years and was truly excited to get the chance to ask her these questions about it. From her bijou apartment in Brooklyn, she builds and photographs dioramas by hand with her partner Kathleen, then photographing them on 8 x 10 format film. Without any kind of digital manipulation, the miniatures and models she builds and presents on film depict cataclysmic manmade scenes ripped apart by some unknown inhuman force; they’re like a doll's house for fatalists: a trashed-out launderette, an overgrown library, a dilapidated theatre, each of these tiny displays make up a microcosmic world of the future, a kind of landscape photography at its darkest. It’s also an incentive to environmentalist or activist art that affects the viewer with its microscopic attention to details – that has landed Nix in museum collections all over America. Tell us a little about yourself?
Eerie Photos of North Brother Island, the Last Unknown Place in New York City. How does an island in New York City’s East River go from being notoriously feared, almost 100 years ago, to being completely forgotten about today? That’s the story behind North Brother Island, the subject of photographer Christopher Payne’s new photo book. A 10-minute boat ride from the Bronx’s Barretto Point Park, North Brother Island originally housed Riverside Hospital between the 1880s and 1930s. While in operation, the hospital served hundreds of patients who suffered from extremely communicable diseases, including smallpox, typhus, scarlet fever and even leprosy.
It was also where “Typhoid Mary” was quarantined, and where she eventually died. In a 1935 profile for the New Yorker, the editor Stanley Walker described the island as “…a dismal spot. Sitting there, one may see, as the best view, the gas tanks on the Bronx shore. Now and then a ferryboat glides past. The island’s facilities have since been decommissioned and the island itself abandoned since 1963. Absence of Water - Gigi Cifali Art and Photography.

These Photos Of Abandoned Asylums Will Keep You Awake Tonight. They're the stuff of every horror flick you've ever seen -- but they're real. Photographer Dan Marbaix -- of Odins Raven Photography -- has always had a thing for abandoned buildings. When he visited the now-defunct West Park Hospital in England, he realized asylums have everything a photographer wants. Asylums were made so nobody would have to leave, he told HuffPost Weird News, and now, years later, everything is still in place: Beds, photos, and even hair salons are still intact. And they're as creepy as ever. Marbaix declined to give much identifying information about the locations in his photos, saying that many of them end up vandalized and ransacked. "I actually like taking photos of all things abandoned, but I have a particular love of asylums because of their size and range of environments," Photographer Dan Marbaix says.

Urban exploration.
Three urban explorers in the entrance of a technical gallery during construction at Paris, France. Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment. Photography and historical interest/documentation are heavily featured in the hobby and, although it may sometimes involve trespassing onto private property, this is not always the case and is of innocent intention.[1] Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites.
It may also be referred to as draining (when exploring drains), urban spelunking, urban rock climbing, urban caving, or building hacking. The nature of this activity presents various risks, including both physical danger and the possibility of arrest and punishment. Targets of exploration[edit] Abandonments[edit] Exploration urbaine. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Explorateurs à l'entrée d'une galerie technique en cours de construction à Paris, France L’exploration urbaine, abrégé urbex (de l'anglais urban exploration), est une activité consistant à visiter des lieux construits par l'homme, abandonnés ou non, en général interdits d'accès ou tout du moins cachés ou difficiles d'accès.
Présentation[modifier | modifier le code] L'exploration urbaine, au sens propre, désigne le fait de recueillir des données sur des zones publiques du paysage urbain, délaissées tout ou partie du temps, en vue d'y accéder et de les utiliser. Au sens figuré, le terme provient de la traduction littérale de l'expression urban exploration créée par Ninjalicious dans les années 1990 et désigne une activité consistant à visiter des lieux, abandonnés ou non, et en général interdits d'accès, ou tout du moins difficile d'accès[2].

Photography of Urban Exploration: Abandoned Brewing Company in Montreal - photoJPL.com .:: Lori Nix: The City. Meet the girl blogger who sneaked inside Russian missile factory... and found no security. By Damien Gayle Updated: 00:49 GMT, 8 January 2012 These incredible pictures were taken by a young Russian woman after she crept inside a factory belonging to one of the world's top manufacturers of liquid-fuel rockets. Lana Sator found her way into one of NPO Energomash's huge factories outside the Russian capital Moscow, without coming across a single security guard - or indeed any other employees at all.
But she could now be in some serious trouble with the Russian government. Lana Sator poses on machinery at the crumbling Energomash plant outside Moscow You can't see me: Ms Sator poses cheekily next to a CCTV camera in the plant Truth is stranger than (science) fiction: This picture looks like something from the Death Star, but is actually the inside of the Energomash plant Out of service? The lights are on... but nobody seems to be home: This photograph shows the heavy machinery that built liquid-fuel rockets used to send astronauts into space. Заброшенные здания, бомбоубежища, военные объекты, мертвая техника и многое другое. Lana sator - live journal.
