Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Urbex," or Urban Exploration Photography, is the exploration and documentation of man-made and often abandoned structures. It is an honorable practice, with strict rules applied to ensure these rare sites are not disturbed or damaged during their exploration.
This stunning book of beautifully shot urbex photography showcases a range of striking and sensitive abandoned locations throughout several European countries including industrial sites, hospitals, castles, rooms and cottages. All the photographs are supplemented by short descriptions.
Wigo Worsseling has been practicing urbex photography for nearly thirty years, and has trained at the School of Photography.
"Translation: Jeanet van den Heuvel"--Colophon.
This type of photography is called 'urbex'. The photographers are, by definition, curious about unknown and forgotten places which are often dangerous and forbidden. The mixture of photography and excitement is Wigo's motive. He came in contact with other urbex photographers and at meetings information was exchanged.
Translated from the Dutch.
