The Waste Land by Marco Balducci (Italy)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
For years I have been exploring the ghost towns in Abruzzo(Italy), abandoned due to mass emigration and natural disasters such as frequent earthquakes. By the time I was exploring them, biblical echoes filled my mind. What was I looking at? The past or the future? I used for this series of images wet plate collodion technique because it convey better the apocalyptic vision these haunted images gave to me.
