These individuals explore old buildings, churches, businesses, amusement parks and other structures and properties left abandoned and decaying from the elements. It’s fascinating.
Join video-game developer/ creator/artist/writer and photographer Ikumi (Tommy) Nakamura as she fearlessly explored, over the course of years, long forgotten buildings and locations that have succumbed to time and decay.
Haunting ghost towns, wastelands, power plants, factories, hotels, places of worship, theaters, parks, airfields, monuments and more are documented by the author in stunning color photographs carefully composed and selected.
The deluxe hardbound book: Project ErbEx, published by Thames & Hudson, is filled with personal observations by the author, descriptions and exclusive Manga.
The interior dull-coated, paper-stock pages amplify the beautiful decay and nature’s encroachment and takeover of each location.
Dusty, damp, derelict and dilapidated each site is a reminder of how time is the master and we are but its temporary servants.
Take a moment to ponder and try to envision that each building and location was at one time new and teeming with people living their lives and going about their daily tasks.
Listen and you can hear children playing in the parks, see worshipers silently praying and workers making noises as the make their various products.
Now steeped in shadows and random beams of light, moldy, mildew covered, dirty, crumbling and strewn with furniture, old clothing and other objects each location is a reminder of how life is short and time marches on.
The book provides a fascinating look at not only old and crumbling structures but the progress of mankind as well.
Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
