Abandoned Perth: Memories and Photos of the Lost and Found by Delphine Jamet

Book Description

Secondhand. As new condition.

In this beautifully photographed book, the author captures abandoned places in emotive form: places as dark as time; history forgotten in the folds of the subconscious mind; beauty in decay, a presentation of life open to our personal interpretations.

Atmospheric scenes unfold in torchlight, with glass crunching underfoot and the unremitting sound of dripping water. Creative wall art decorations attract attention, bridging the natural and unnatural worlds with a broad range of colours and evoking compelling effects from micro-organisms. The author describes urbexing – the pursuit of images of the abandoned and ruined - as a way of life as powerful as a state of mind. (back cover)
