THE STORY BEHIND…

Unlike many of Astrid’s photographs the chapel we see here is not falling apart. It actually looks in pretty good nick, which then makes us wonder how long ago was this place left? And why so? Once again the unanswerable questions linked to Astrid’s adventures come flooding in. All the sculptures positioned on the walls seem to be guarding the church, perhaps desperately trying to protect it against its future of inevitable decay.

Astrid’s eighteen part photography series as part of The Awesome collection tracks her urban exploration of abandoned buildings across Europe.
