1. Abandoned Australia
A visual journey through forgotten and decaying sites across Australia—from crumbling industrial complexes and shuttered institutions to deserted homesteads and overgrown theme parks—captured through atmospheric photography and accompanied by brief histories. It reveals the social and economic shifts behind abandonment and nature’s steady reclamation, inviting reflection on impermanence, memory, and the unexpected beauty found in ruin.
