Abandoned Perth : memories and photos of the lost and found
DESCRIPTION
AuthorDelphine JametDescriptionIn this beautifully photographed book, the author has captured 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 before the light of torches, with glass crunching underfoot, complementing the unremitting sound of dripping water. Creative wall art decorations attract attention, bordering the natural and unnatural worlds with a broad range of colours and exuding micro-organisms with compelling effects. The author describes urbexing – the pursuit of images of the abandoned and ruined - as a drug, a way of life as powerful as a state of mind. This is her world – this is Perth.ImprintPerth, W.A : Australia Through Time, 2021Collation96 pages : colour illustrations ; 25 cm.LanguageEnglishDate Published2021NotesIncludes bibliographical references.ISBN9781925868739Dewey Class779.4999411 JAMPublication FormatBook
