Beschreibung
There are still fascinating relics of past years in and around Berlin: half-dilapidated factories, swimming pools and hospitals, abandoned airfi elds, closed down power plants, unused military facilities, or deserted villas that look as if they had been left in a hurry by their last residents. The journalist and photographer Ciarán Fahey has explored the most spectacular of these lost places, documented their condition in photographs and discovered their tragic tales. His pictures take the viewer into a mysterious and fascinating world somewhere between the past and the future. OVER 200 LARGE-FORMAT COLOR PHOTOS WITH TEXTS IN ENGLISH AND GERMAN
Autorenporträt
Ciarán Fahey works for an international news agency that pays him to go and watch football games. Since moving to Berlin from Ireland over a decade ago he has spent his spare time poking his nose into places most law-abiding Germans wouldnt, and become fascinated by the wealth of ruins and abandoned places in and around the German capital. He publishes his reports and photographs on the website www.abandonedberlin.com. It has been praised by the British newspaper The Guardian as one of the best city blogs around the world - the only one in Germany. You can find him on Twitter at @IrishBerliner and @AbandonedBerlin. His dark humor, which has undoubtedly made its way into this book, is like him forged by Ireland, an island on the edge of the Atlantic battered by howling winds and persistent rain.
