What will the end of the world look like? 'Abandoned Futures' is a breathtaking global overview of the decay and abandonment that sits in the midst of humanities constant push towards an uncertain future. It's a visual epic dedicated to the edge of our power, where human industry fails and decay takes over.
Photographer Tong Lam explores answers to the question what would the end of the world look like? From Hashima Island off the coast of Japan to the despair of a crumbling industrial Detroit, his photographs deliver myriad answers. Its not all bad news though, and the photographs are far more inspiring than one might expect. As human industry fails and decay takes over, nature starts to move in. Trees miraculously thrive amidst the rubble as various flora springs from industrial waste. Yes, the ghostly asylums and decaying sanatoriums will delight post-apocalyptic impulses, but entropys low ebb often has an upshot in Lams bright open photographs. Nothing is spared from ruin, as the military industrial complexes and medieval castles are given the same treatment by the indomitable, grinding forces of the universe.
