Too early for photovoltaic

My passion to photograph abandoned places sometimes push me into ancient factories of the last century in decay. The huge machinery complexes remind me of giant metal dinosaur fossils that have been buried by time.
The machines and the light captured in particular moments are the supporting characters of this series, with a personal pictorial style that takes great care of the light.
I alluded to light, as an element linked to photovoltaics, and I jokingly inserted it in the title, a technology too modern for the ancient machinery of these industrial plants.

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.
