What happens to the places that history has left behind?
Photographing Abandoned Places
With the click of her shutter, photographer Heather Hacker breathes new life into the banisters and bookcases, bell towers and buttresses (almost) forgotten in the annals of time. Exploring deserted spaces in their varying stages of decay, Heather’s work proves that there is still so much life to be found beneath the dust and the do-not-enter signs. But here, you may enter and explore as you please.
Explore the hidden corners and lost artifacts of the world’s abandoned mansions, schools, hospitals, and more.
