Gina Joden

Gina Soden travels around Europe to photograph abandoned buildings and is an exquisite observers of decay. Her subjects are derelict asylums, schools and hotels, deserted castles and churches, and disused power stations.

Her visions of crumbling architecture that capture the passage of time and the beauty of decay captured in once-inhabited spaces evoke a nostalgia for an old Europe gone by. 

"I am a huge fan of Gina's work and having listened to her talk exclusively about her work and explain the techniques and workings behind the shots, I now have even more admiration for her. Her dedication to travelling around the world, tracking down and actually getting access to these often inaccessible locations before they are lost to us through demolition or reconstruction is astounding. She continually manages to find beauty in areas of decay and through her photographs we are allowed a rare glimpse of something we would otherwise never see."
