KUNSTRAI (ART) AMSTERDAM, 31 May - 05 June 2017
Sometimes abandoned places are housing strange unexpected things such as dozens of men and woman mannequins. This old forgotten part of a still active Eastern European prison is intriguing and creepy as well. Please have some respect not to stare at their private parts!

Zeche Ruhr
Zeche Black Dust was active till june 2008 and was the last productive coalmine in this German region. The mine opened in 1927 but was flooded in the beginning and in 1930 reopened again. It produced 3 mil tons a year in 1968. At the moment of exploration the large site was under demolition and heavily guarded to keep copper thieves away. But also to behold intruders for demolition dangers.
