VOLKSSTIMME = “Wir sind das Volk” ?!

Chris OOM 1 Comment

Ich habe in einem verlassenen Hotel in der ehemaligen DDR einen Berg Zeitungen aus der Zeit von 1985 bis 1990 gefunden. Die Artikel darin öffnen die Augen und vermitteln, warum heute in Ost-Deutschland der Zulauf zu rechten Gruppen, wie z.B. der AfD so stark ist: In vielen der damaligen Artikeln in den Zeitungen wurde der Mensch direkt angesprochen, gelobt und erhoben. Das Themenspektrum war schmal und die Erklärungen waren einfach gehalten. Heute dagegen sind die Menschen in der ehemaligen DDR der kalten, bösen Welt mit all seinen komplizierten Vorgängen ausgesetzt. Keiner hält mehr schützend die Hand über sie und führt sie nicht mehr durch das Leben. Ich glaube, dass viele …

This post is an addendum to the Abandoned Places Tour ’14, specifically the abandoned destillery in the north of Bavaria. In the explored destillery, I have found some old posters and photos which I’ve found today in my shelf. I took photos from them. Find here the Rotten Posters.

CLOTH FACTORY

During our ABANDONED PLACES TOUR ’15 in April this year, I have captured so many photos, that I’m still working on them. Today I’m releasing 2 more sets from an abandoned cloth factory in the area of Alsace / France. Most of the facitities have been demolished already. But as usual, after a sportive role through an open window, we found some nice litte piceworth to take photos. Set 1: color Set2: black&white

“LEATHER – an abandoned leather factory – barricated for children” Why barricated? – it was a nice story visiting this place: Sunday noon, trying to find an entrance – making a loop around the complex – all windows and doors bricked; High walls and fences. No way in. We intendet to leave. While discussing that just infront of the building next to the main street, we saw a door open. Inside some noise. I stepped in and found a man in a dark room working. He was the bricklayer completing his work. I asked him why he does that and if we can enter the building. He mentioned in a …

THE BITCH

Chris OOM Leave a comment

why this terrible name? – well – I always thought, that I have a hobby not so much people are following. In this location I have learned the opposite. When we arrived, it was OK – no-one there. After a while dozends of photographers, models and other strange people where around. One guy named the place ‘the bitch of the abandoned locations’. The most repellent experience was a group of getto kids making a ‘music’ video: …and here the exciding result: Source: Youtube (applied the standard “embedding link”)   Here two photos, maybe not everybody took?
