Sta.sh
There is such a sweeping vista here..or there should be with all of these windows and the curved wall that seems to invite all of nature to the interior of the building. and yet...look at the frosted glass, what does it do? it makes the outside world only a faded uncertain impression, like a view of the past. All the focus of your vision is directed back to the interior and held there. The many vertical and horizontal lines of the structure are like prison bars. It seems to flirt with a message of hope but yet keep the person trapped inside this place. I would feel hopeless and claustrophobic in a design such as this. So I find it very interesting that it is a Sanitarium. It is disturbing. I enjoy the look of the architecture from outside views, the style of the 1950s, but not the inside view
This part was yet the most enjoyable part of the inside because the windows slightly colored light gave a really great atmosphere.
I feel bad for the children who were treated here.
Thank you for this great comment
btw, I saw an image of this same room by Zerberuz today, and I saw in his comment he said it was a rainy day. I thought perhaps I had misunderstood the effect of the window, and that it was caused by rain and not a more permanent design. So I feel encouraged that my comment was not more "misunderstanding" which I have been doing too much this week
also,
As long as I am rambling on I will ask something I have been wondering. To me, it seems that the work of both you and Zerberuz has strong elements of social commentary and often a haunting of true human horror to them. I wonder if the Urbex style is meant to convey "social commentary" and perhaps political commentary, or if it it more commonly just people who find the beauty in decay and old gothic-type moods. I so often see "politics" in this work, and I wonder if that is just because I am an American. lol
If you show an American a cheeseburger, or a butterfly, or even a grain of sand they will see politics in it. if you doubt that is true, I can prove it, but it would take even more talking XD
I do not like politics, even though I know it is very important in what we show. I prefer and I try to have a neutral look on things.
My personal interest is very diverse: history of a place, of an industry or of a family, architecture, geography, etc..
But I think the main interest is the feeling when exploring, alone or almost alone, in a forgotten place, and to see the beauty of decay.
Okay I understand. Often when I look at Urbex photos I think it is a weird paradox, that when Humans have been removed from the human places, that is the best opportunity to contemplate the humans themselves. You can see who they were by the stains and shadows they have left behind them. So in that way Urbex is more like a meditation than a Political treatise. cool
Each time I listen to politics, it irritate me
Also, I think I like urbexing because it prove me that nature always win. The place can be polluted in depth, nature always comes back.
humping rabbits represent Nature recovering from pollution? omfg
