Beautiful, haunting photographs of abandoned places in Spain.
An outstanding photographic book that draws attention to the often dramatic fate of Spain's abandoned heritage and its frequently forgotten beauty. The locations featured all have their own stories to tell, in a variety of voices, but with one shared theme: the fall from grace.
Towns bombed during the Spanish Civil War that were never rebuilt; an international railway station once teeming with Nazi and Allied double agents, now concealing a state-of-the-art dark matter research laboratory; a former munitions dump hewn out of the mountainside; a winery whose vast tanks form a unique architectural site; and various laboratories that have closed down, their experiments frozen in time Although the remains of the old town of Belchite and Canfranc railway station are popular with urban explorers in Spain, many other historic sites overlooked even by local people are on the brink of vanishing into oblivion.
For the last ten years, the cameras of Fran Lens, Paco Quiles and Carlos Sanmillán have crisscrossed the country to record these abandoned locations for posterity. Their work is featured in this photo report infused with history and adrenaline.
美丽迷人的西班牙废墟照片。
一本杰出的摄影书,提请人们注意西班牙废墟及其经常被遗忘的美丽的戏剧性命运。所介绍的地点都有自己的故事,以不同的声音讲述,但它们都有一个共同的主题:盛衰兴废。
在西班牙内战期间被炸毁的城镇再也没有重建;一个曾经挤满着德国工人党和盟军双重间谍的国际火车站,现在隐藏着一个非常先进的暗物质研究实验室;一个从山坡上凿出的前军火库;酿酒厂巨大的酒罐形成了一个独特的建筑遗址。尽管贝尔奇特老城和坎弗朗克火车站的遗迹很受西班牙城市探险家的欢迎,但许多其它历史遗迹甚至不受当地人重视,行将消失。
在过去的十年里,弗兰·朗斯(Fran Lens)、帕科·奎莱斯(Paco Quiles)和卡洛斯·桑米兰(Carlos Sanmillán)穿梭于这个国家,为后代拍摄记录这些废墟。他们的作品被收录在这篇充满历史和刺激的摄影报告中。
