Concrete Abstract

Trawling through many photographers sites reveals interesting results sometimes. I was blown away by the subject matter of Jan Kempenaers.

His surreal photographs of barren landscapes dominated by huge other-worldly sculptures and alien buildings is mesmerising. Sometimes you feel like you’ve been transported to an alternate future that never was, or the lost relics of a super-civilsation from the distant past. Whatever these constructions served as I will never know, I’m not even sure if they really exist at all – or have they been masterfully retouched into the landscape by the photographer?
