Switzerland
I'm an industrial and decay photographer from Switzerland. My work revolves around the slow battle between human structures and nature’s decay processes. My pictures show internal spaces, external structures, crumbling walls, industrial details and abstract compositions. They are memento mori of forgotten places, demonstrating that the absence of human life changes a location fundamentally. All of my photographs are available light shots, with occasional experimentation in HDR, and are published under a Creative Commons (attribution share alike) license

Current Residence: Switzerland
Favourite photographer: Polidori, Potter
Interests

Sibling of Kali

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 25, 2012, 2:37 PM
One of my first industrial exploration series was one called Sisters of Kali, from a potassium mine just an hour or so north of where I live. Now, almost 8 years later, I'm returning to a similar site not very far from the original one. Most of the old potassium mines in Alsace, France, were an important part of the industrial culture. Now they're almost all gone, torn down, with one re-used as a museum, another one as a underground waste storage. I miss them, the magnificent sisters.

The series is about 100 pics long, taken on a couple of really cold winter days. I will post them 10 or so pics at a time. Maybe I'll come around to process the film material from this site as well... we'll see. Stay tuned, and enjoy.

Your work always thrills me.
You have a very particular look over things that one wouldn't see...
There's something special in your pics, I'd say poetry...
Well done.

Ah, and I used one your photos, "Josh's ascension", for a school work. I hope you don't mind: all credits are given to you, and this won't be public in any way. Just that I liked it so much.
