As photographer of abandoned places I often have to deal with environments that survive exclusively in a mantacy of darkness. Melancholy is the main feeling. But there are rare moments when light manages to filter creating magic: in those moments light blesses the ancient architectural splendor of places normally corrupted by decadence. Paradoxically I find myself reacting quickly in places where time flows extremely slowly. In those moments you are a privileged spectator of the last shots of pride of structures destined to collapse or vanish with time.
Christian Basetti from Milan. Since 2015, he has been passionate about ancient decadent places, giving voice to these structures full of melancholy charm as if they were silent narcissistic creatures waiting for someone to express their greatness. Inspired by Caravaggio, he's creator of Forgotten Art-chitectures project, decayed places are not shot just with an usual limited documentary aspect, as many others do, but they are like painted fine art canvas aimed at aesthetics.
