Okay, let’s kick off the travel series with a rare, but unspectacular location: The N# Nursery School. (Sorry for bleeping the name. This haikyo isn’t well-known at all and I don’t wanna be the guy who reveals too much about this untouched place.) I saw it only once on the net so far – luckily [...]

Recently I went on a three day road trip to Awaji Island and Shikoku. Fellow urban explorer Jordy came down to Kobe, we rented a car and off we went. Since Jordy likes to drive and I like to do research we combined our powers to go to some places off the beaten tracks. Pretty [...]

After I came back to Japan from my trip to Germany (meeting family and friends) and Ukraine (visiting Prypiat and Chernobyl) I kinda lost my drive a bit – living in Japan is way more wearing than you might think and which haikyo could really compete with an abandoned city in the middle of a [...]

After Michael and I finished shooting the Doctor’s Shack we walked about 30 meters along a small, dusty street to get to an abandoned house he found during his first visit to the Doctor’s Shack; Michael ran out of time back then and therefore didn’t have the opportunity to explore it. The place looked like [...]

Today I started working on two maps and put them online. I know, I know, urban explorers don’t reveal locations – and neither do I.

A couple of weeks ago I received an e-mail from Lope Gutiérrez-Ruiz, co-organizer of the Venezuelan art festival Por el Medio de la Calle, editor of Plátanoverde magazine (in Spanish), and co-founder of The Gopher Illustrated - the latter ones being platforms for emerging artists. For the second issue of the Gopher the team was planning a feature about “urban [...]
