Abandoned Italy in the shots of urban explorer Robin Brinaert

A lockdown of time that keeps a piece of Italian heritage seized in abandonment.

Theaters, cinemas, schools, villas, churches, monasteries, factories, once places full of life, consigned to silence and also to inevitable neglect.

To discover these little treasures, almost a new land to conquer, Robin Brinaert, an explorer armed with a Canon who captures in his shots the still moment of the passing years.

Thus in his photos the inevitability of the passing of days, months and centuries with the walls devoured by the humidity of a church, the rusted machineries of a spinning mill, the forgotten beds of a sanatorium, the dusty benches of a school rotted chairs of an audience.

Brinaert, Belgian photographer but above all urban explorer, collected the fruit of his emotional walks in a book "Italy Abandoned" (Jonglez Edition), a wandering between what was and what is.

"The world is a theater and I have chosen to look behind the scenes"
