Artwork description:

I visited this abandoned palace in Ukraine in 2010 during the ‘Abandoned?’ journey. On this journey we travelled 39000 km in a camper van through 24 European countries investigating and documenting abandoned places to create a feature length documentary film and photographic project.
I visited this Soviet nuclear missile base in 2010 during the ‘Abandoned?’ journey. On this journey Geppe and I travelled 39000 km in a camper van through 24 European countries investigating and documenting abandoned places.
Our Ukrainian friend Tolia took us to see this palace and explained how local people are not interested in conserving such historical buildings because they belong to an era when the country was ruled by an invading empire...the Austro-Hungarian empire.
This artwork is a one off piece created for an exhibition in an abandoned convent. It was then in storage for several years whilst I moved my life from the city to the countryside, went through a divorce and dealt with the pandemic. It is now available to buy exclusively in my ArtFinder shop.

Materials used:

fine art giclée print applied to aluminium dibond sandwich board with a protective film so there's no need for glass. 1cm spacers. Sold ready to hang.
