‘Night Vision’ Photo Book Says Yes To Trespassing
If you’ve been itching to hop a fence in the middle of the night to explore America’s abandoned wastelands but haven’t had your tetanus shot, then a new photo book, Night Vision: The Art Of Urban Exploration, should provide plenty of vicarious viewing. Photographer Troy Paiva has a simple, albeit really creepy, steez: break into abandoned military bases, junkyards, and train stations and take flicks using only colored strobes and available light (i.e. illuminated by the moon).
The resulting images—a hotel used for WWII interrogations, chairs at a shuttered train station in Oakland, a trashed arcade game in a even more trashed roadside motel—look like something out of a Coen Brothers x M. Night Shyamalan collabo (if Shyamalan actually made cool shit again). Order a copy of the book here or check out more Night Vision images after the jump.
