In Romain Veillon’s most up-to-date physique of labor, Secret Gardens, the enigmatic attract of deserted greenhouses takes heart stage. Touring to derelict websites to immortalize forgotten corners of the world, the French photographer invitations viewers into areas the place people are decentered.
The boundaries between inside and exterior are a key aspect in Veillon’s strategy to deserted rising homes, the place he emphasizes their convergence. “It’s ironic to see that, quite the opposite, nature felt imprisoned there and sought to interrupt free from its captor, unleashing its unstoppable power,” the photographer shares in a collection assertion. “Now, we admire vegetation that has develop into one with the bars of its cage.”
Veillon’s pictures are formidable, documenting the facility nature holds to ultimately reclaim areas not ruled by human intervention. Whereas echoes of the presence of man persist in every picture—by shattered stained glass window panes, rusting pipes, and piles of unused pots—the commanding power of rollicking vegetation is a transparent reminder that in the long run, nature endures past us.
