Dear friends, it’s time to share the big news: I am extremely proud to announce that my second book Green Urbex: The World Without Us has now been released by Albin Michel! You will find all my latest photographs there.

What if mankind disappeared completely from the earth? Through the pages, you will see the floors covered by dust, walls cracked, wood rotting, and nature invading slowly those places that used to be full of life, reminding us of the necessity to live in harmony with our habitat. Nature cannot resist the pressure and damage Man is doing for much longer. Through the pages, I will take you on a journey with me to castles, schools, hospitals, factories, and churches that have been forgotten by us.

It's really interesting and strange at the same time to see that we have a huge fascination for ruins and a world where mankind has disappeared, which explains the success of post-apocalypse shows or video games. What do we love so much in them? I would imagine that, like many people, discovering the decaying house at the end of the street is a memory we all have deep inside of us.

When I encounter such a place, my goal is that everybody can travel in the past with me and make up the stories they decide to want to: Why was this place abandoned? What happened to the former owners? What used to happen in this room? People make their own kind of answer. It makes them go into their imaginary world and become the hero of their own adventure where they are the detective. Each story will be different from one another, and that’s what I love. To me, my pictures act as a new kind of “Memento Mori”; they are here to remind us that everything has an end and that we should enjoy it while it lasts.
