Photobooks - Eduard Planting Gallery

Jan: “I would like to share my fascination and admiration for the beauty of decay with you through a book, so that you can also wander around in the wonderful world of the abandoned and forgotten. Conceived, designed and built by people, but now deserted by everyone. This book is a personal selection of the many sites that I photographed over the years. It is not a dull collection of dozens of photographs that are put in a book without much coherence. I opted for a division into 13 chapters, with each chapter telling the story of one location. Obviously my pictures of these locations take the lead, but I also added a short history and a personal narrative about that particular location. And sometimes about the risks you need to take to make that one picture or series that tells my story of these places.”

On the occasion of the publication of the book, we have released three series of a special edition, each consisting of three different prints. Of course, it’s also possible to combine the series with each other, because the outer size of the frames is the same. Above are the three series. To see the works in a larger size click here and go to the website of Jan. When hovering the name and number of the artwork will show up. The framed photographs are also on display in the Eduard Planting Gallery located in Amsterdam.
