Beschreibung:
UK-based photographer Andre Govia comes from a background in film and television production and is seen as a pioneer among urban explorers. He has taken his camera into over 22 different countries worldwide and explored over 800 individual locations.
Abandoned Planet showcases the haunting poetry of abandoned places and takes you on a journey through a world most will never see. The pathos, the magic, the profound sadness of each image invites you to contemplate not only the eventual failure of all human endeavour but also that difficult to describe, indistict yearning for a world less civilised, a nostalgia for wild spaces - for a life less tame.
The images within "Abandoned Planet" have been selected from the archives of photographer Andrew Govia's work from travels to 800 locations around the world. These photographs represent the most hauntingly beautiful nightmares one could ever hope to encounter Revered by his peers within the "Urbex" community, Govia is a legendary photographer of abandoned and decrepit buildings. He's taken his cinematic approach to photography to more than twenty countries, documenting our "Abandoned Planet" in the process. His elegant photographs capture haunting and sometimes downright creepy images, selected from hospitals, schools, houses, hotels and asylums, all frozen in time. This unique collection follows the movements of a man who is both an intrepid explorer and talented lensman.
