Tomorrow Never Knows is a photographic series representing a journey into the world’s abandonments. While traveling abroad I scout for the unknown and unseen. I know from my exploring escapades which path to take, but sometimes I will choose another. Making big drops into oblivion. Ignorance is bliss, someone once told me. This series is a showcase of past splendour, derelict hospitals, mothballed monasteries, dormant structures and everything in-between. The result of the intangible desire to explore what mankind has left behind.
