Beautiful, haunting photographs of abandoned places from around the world. The ultimate visual reference in urban exploration. These outstanding photographic reports aim to draw attention to the often dramatic fate of a country’s abandoned heritage and its frequently forgotten beauty. The locations featured all have their own stories to tell, in a variety of voices, but with one shared theme: the fall from grace. For fifteen years, Francis Meslet explored urban landscapes as a photographer of the poetry of ruins. Drawing on this experience, with the aid of artificial intelligence, he now takes us on a journey to discover an abandoned world in a not-so-distant future.
