ABANDONED JAPAN - JORDY MEOW GEBUNDEN

Japan is often thought of as a place where the modern world and ancient traditions meet in
surprising and fascinating ways. The rapid pace of technological  social and cultural change
throughout the 20th century propelled the country forward but left countless establishments 
industries and entire towns deserted. Through his photography Jordy Meow explores these
forgotten places and sheds light on a lost world that was thriving just a few decades ago.
Abandoned Japan documents famed ruins (haikyo in Japanese) such as Gunkanjima  the island
featured in the Bond movie Skyfall  which once had a population of over 5 000 but is now
completely abandoned  and the Disneyland-inspired Nara Dreamland theme park. Beyond these
well-known sites  Jordy Meow also takes us on a journey through every aspect of a rapidly
disappearing past: from schools and hospitals to industrial sites and nightlife  including
strip clubs and love hotels.
