Visit to Uncle Sam (large) - Limited Edition 2 of 4 Photograph

When I, Michael Schwan, travel in nature or visit Lost Places, I am always a deep connectedness. Be it majestic peaks, the most beautiful landscapes in Europe or the silence and tranquility of abandoned places, I am always astonished by these beauties The beauty of decay The theme Lost Places captivates him since more than 8 years. The impressive effect, the images of large, heavy industrial installations on the slides of the lectures challenged the young artist to go on a voyage of discovery in order to gain deeper insights into these unique places. This is how his series, the beauty of decay, came into existence. Today we find in his photographs other neglected places that play with the beautiful charm of lackluster decay. On the one hand, his photography preserves deserted villas, forgotten castles, old cinemas and cultural houses. On the other hand, it is artistic documentation of how nature recaptures what once belonged to it.
