Mustard Gas Party
Haunting  and mysterious. These photographs, mostly in stark black and white, capture the mood of desolation and despair in abandoned modern ruins. With their peeling paint, crumbling ceilings, and shattered glass, these buildings may offer a message -- if so, it's a cryptic one. The anonymous photographer of this site offers no explanations, just enigmatic titles. (What is the meaning of "Lights out, Hum on - Six Spoke Delight"?) Maybe we're just supposed to appreciate the beauty in the geometry of "Macy's Narrow Access" or wonder at the technical skill of the creator of this site. If you find the ravaged ruins a little too unnerving, cycle through "Portraits - 2003 to 04" for some unusual portraits of real folks. They're just as mysterious. (in Photography) |
