Luxuria
DESCRIPTION
What would happen if mankind suddenly disappear from earth? Trying to imagine the answer has fascinated people since the dawn of time. What is interesting is that our answers vary in the same time that our society changes and evolves. Regarding the many challenges we are facing today (pandemic, deforestation, pollution, global warming, armed conflicts), "Luxuria" remind us as a memento mori what could be our world tomorrow... We only have one planet and we need to protect our environment if we don't want our world to look those pictures... AUTHOR
Passionate forever by travels and photography, Romain Veillon is specialized in the urban exploration of our abandon heritage across the world; whether it is old castles, factories, hospitals or even churches. He immortalizes these places where time seems to be frozen and share with us the discovery of these incredible locations that the world have forgotten. Each photography owns its proper history and invite us to dive with him looking for these ghosts of the past. His work questions us on the connections between Man and his environment in a society where recent changes push us to interrogate about our former actions and their consequences today.
