A series of photographs, created by Richard Allenby-Pratt. The concept is a Dubai left by people, where only the animals are left to roam the deserted streets. The project was included in the 2011 London Association of Photographers Awards.
This project imagines a future without people, where the relics of our unrealized ambitions are populated by some of the species we have, in the present day, come so close to exterminating. I hope to highlight the fragility of our economic systems and the desperate need for us to live in harmony with the other occupants of our world.
Love the sense of deserted peace captured, and no matter how hard humanity has imposed its creations mother nature still wins out.
I like it! I think it works for me because this vision seems very possible.
There are so many places already like this that I hear about and read of.
Reminds me of a Ballard novel!
very impressive
Toutes les photos de ce blog sont splendides.
Elles ouvent l’esprit du photographe qui les regarde.
On devrait le rendre obligatoire dans les écoles de photo.
I absolutely love photos of abandoned spaces. Terrifying and fascinating. It’s amazing how fast nature reclaims these man-made creations. We should take heed.
Until I saw the rhinoceros, I actually thought this was for real. Beautiful!
I am very much into “postapocalyptic” – if I may say so, if we assume that apocalypse means the end of mankind, simply. Love the photos.
I think the Kangeroo and the rhinoseros are nice touches. An interesting project. Can we believe any image we see these days.
