Marc Da Cunha Lopes ‘SKLT’ Photo Series
Paris photographer and master of photo-manipulation, Marc Da Cunha Lopes, has created yet another stunning photo series titled ‘SKLT’. The images, which feature various semi-industrial abandoned sites transposed with the complete skeletons of large creatures, works as a commentary on the nature of archaeology and how we as humans leave our landscapes riddled with skeletons of many different sorts. Interesting and thought provoking, Cunha Lopes’ ‘SKLT’ continues the thread of fine work the artist is known for.

FloppyTrip
Hard disks get too old, keyboards lose their keys, modems break, disk drives run too slow, VHS don’t have a proper recorder anymore, wires get no plugs, screens fall apart. They are all abandoned somewhere, apparently useless.

How can we exploit their potentials, their hidden qualities and unknown properties?

Walk just a few steps away from Detroit’s bustling central thoroughfare, you’ll be met with empty skyscrapers, abandoned lots and the slow reclamation of nature.

It is this emptiness which creates some of the most beautiful scenes of urban decay in the United States– and photographers Marchand and Meffre have captured it perfectly.
