Twentysix Abandoned Gasoline Stations - Eric Tabuchi

Eric Tabuchi a French photographer, has captured abandoned, rusting, toxic-leaking architectural ruins that blight the landscape and roadscapes of france.

Tabuchi photographed these abandoned gasoline stations in a flat, objective style, showing them just as plainly as they exist. If there is a moral argument to the story Tabuchi leaves it to the viewer to decide.

They are like trees because they are there. They were not chosen because they were pop-like but because they have angles, colors, and shapes, like trees. They were just there, so they were not in my visual focus because they were supposed to be social-nerve endings.

Enchanted Spaces - Marrigje de Maar

Marrigie de Maar started out taking pictures of worn out rejected buildings, after looking at this she moved onto capturing images of interiors that tell stories about people, in public space people appear to follow trends and fashions but capturing their home shows how they make their own decisions.

Everything visible in her pictures is there, she never changes anything and only uses the available light and the image comes alive in the existing light.

“The doors I choose to knock on rarely hold a clue about what I may find inside.” – Marrigie de Maar.
