Legs and Borders

This is what's happening when you cannot find the place, going to the pub and asking locals where it might be.. then realizing on arrival (or slightly later on) that it is a completely different place. visited with: Keïteï and Subversive Photography. history: built in 19th century grade ii listed building, consisting of 3 main parts: former orphanage, later girls school; a chapel and the convent accommodation. Some recent affairs lead to it's closure few years ago. This is certainly on top of my weirdest explores to date, with the strange builders, squatters and items found on site.

Since coming back from Pripyat i found it hard to explore anything. Chernobyl and it's surroundings imprinted some strange emotions on me and posting only the pictures was simply not enough to show what i am really thinking about this place. Just before Christmas i decided to make a slideshow, similar to the one where i portrayed Lillesden School , but go a bit further this time, move the images a little bit and (perhaps) try to tell a story. Browsing the internet for the right soundscape begun, and it didn't take me long to find myself on soundcloud, few ambient tracks later i found it. Perfect mood, with a voice-over telling about how it was to be a child, i didn't think long and contacted David, or if you like The Oxford Ambient Collective , and the mysterious voice, Sabine or rain_and _sun. Both of them gave me a positive reply within few hours, and so our cooperation begun. Few weeks passed and here it is, inspired by the Wim Wender's Wings of Desire in the...

A bit of a break from urbex, and something i wanted to do for quite a while. Kids and banners are doing their job going over ROA's pieces, shame.. 1 - Malarky 2 - ROA 3  - Pablo Delgado  4 - ROA, Malarky 5 - Unknown 6 - Malarky 7 - Pidgeons

Dover has definitely a lot to offer, this time we managed to visit three locations, but because my light-painting skills are still not sufficient i will only post few pictures.. return visit is near. Grand Shaft This historical monument was used to get soldiers from the top to the bottom of the White Cliffs of Dover during a crisis.Therefore, a set of three intertwined spiral staircases were built for easy access. St. Martins Deep Shelter St Martins Battery was constructed in the 1870's and was updated at the beginning of the Second World War, part of this included extending the already present Battery Magazine into a deep underground shelter, It has suffered smoke damage and several collapses. First shelter i ever been to, shame that not much left inside. This one was taken just outside the shelter, on the previous trip: More locations in Dover to come.

It's St George... again, it must be dest0ny, he deserves a credit. Saint George was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier from Syria Palaestina and a priest in the Guard of Diocletian, who is venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic (Western and Eastern Rites), Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. This building/crane is located in Canterbury, not very high, but with the lovely view on the Canterbury Cathedral, the building will be used for student housing when completed in 2012. It was.. very foggy.
