Abandoned buildings, industrial sites, and forgotten spaces. Urban exploration photography and documentation of derelict locations, decay, and hidden urban archaeology. Discover the stories and history preserved in abandoned places.
Urban exploration peels back the city’s visible layer to reveal abandoned buildings, derelict factories, and forgotten spaces hiding urban history. Photography and documentation of decay, industrial sites, and architectural ruins—places that were once thriving but now stand abandoned.
Discover ghost towns, theme parks left to decay, Berlin’s urban exploration scene, and the stories these places preserve. Urban explorers document disappearing architecture and industrial heritage before demolition, capturing the layers of history that official records often miss. Explore the hidden geography that shapes how we understand urban evolution and what cities leave behind.
Uebergrund - New Urban Magazine
Uebergrund, by Sebastian Linck is a new urban photo magazine. The issue I recently had in my mailbox, photographically thematizes urban city-photography and is the first one of an ongoing series.
The 76-page mag convinces with 66 urban landscape, graffiti, street art, night-shots, street scenes, trains and tracks, facades and skateboarding photos from all over the world. It’s off-set printed in a handy A5 format.
As you maybe know, one of Sebastian’s photos was awarded with the third prize of our urban photo contest, so you can be assured of having a brilliant, ad-free, limited urban mag.

London Street Life
It’s phenomenally how much fantastic slow motion and time lapse video clips with wonderful urban impressions there are on the Internet!
Do you know the “London - harder, better, faster, stronger” clip by David Hubert? It’s an impressive time lapse short film, made of 3328 single shots from the London city in 2008. Mixed up with Daft Punk’s “Harder, better, faster, stronger” it mediates a great street feeling!

Impressions: New York 2008
I love this fresh slow motion video made by Vicente Sahuc with a Casio camera in New York, 2008!
The impressions, the cuttings, the details, the colors - Everything fits great together, it’s a feast for the eyes and additionally gives a fantastic feeling of the urban atmosphere in New York! I mostly like the cop, cruising past with his antique police car or the lady with the pantyhose…great!
