A fascinating exploration. Visit the website for many more eerie yet beautiful place

Some of those places must have been magnificent at one time. Others looked as if they were depressing from the start.

Bljak, I would not call this art!

A couple of those look like the house I am renting.

Absolutely beautiful. Yes, it is ART!

Art is in the eye of the beholder. I find it art because I am imagining the splendor or squalor that was there in the past, and the possibilities if someone were to reclaim the space today.
Also, the composition of the photographs is fantastic. There is a definate skill to taking a coherent photograph that conveys a message, in chaos.

I find these photos also speak to our disposable society.

So many things can be said about art and what is art. I think that art is first and foremost anything that expands our consciousness through invoking the experience of beauty. Of course minds are different, and not any two minds respond similarly to the same stimulus. these photographs invoke a rare and surprising sense of beauty especially because they use forms and visual contexts that we are conditioned to relate to as ugly, decaying, destroyed, dead... It creates an opportunity to experience something out of the 'box' of our everyday experiences.

My art professor said it this way, about what art is : "If someone calls it 'art' then it's art, however, it doesn't make it 'good art' just 'art.' That's all."

I think that art is first and foremost anything that expands our consciousness through invoking the experience of beauty.
