Vergessen & Verwachsen

This book is a visual and literary exploration of abandoned places across Austria and its neighboring countries. This book captures the haunting beauty of forgotten spaces — from decaying mansions and deserted hotels to crumbling industrial sites and silent amusement parks.

Through atmospheric photography and poetic short texts, the project reveals the quiet narratives embedded in dust-covered hallways, broken windows, and overgrown facades. Each location is more than just a ruin — it is a fragment of memory, suspended in time.

This book invites readers to reflect on impermanence, history, and the unseen lives of places left behind. It is not only a documentation of architectural decay, but also an homage to silence, space, and the emotional resonance of what once was.
