Huffington Post called him a master of the abandoned--and for good reason. Take a strange and wonderful photographic journey into a world time has forgotten--amusement parks that have been shut down and overgrown. The artivist known only as Seph Lawless has spent the last ten years photo-documenting the America that was left behind in the throes of economic instability and overall decline--decrepit shopping malls, houses, factories, even amusement parks. Through nearly two hundred gorgeous and elegiac photographs, Abandoned details Lawless's journey into what was once the very heart of American entertainment: the amusement park. Here is includes:
- Disney World's Discovery Island and River Country
- Joyland Amusement Park
- Dogpatch USA
- Fun Spot Amusement Park and Zoo
- Bushkill Amusement Park
- Land of Oz
- Lake Shawnee Amusement Park
- Geauga Lake Amusement Park
- Spreepark
- Chippewa Lake Amusement Park
- Enchanted Forest Playland
- And more!
Lawless visits deserted parks across the country, capturing in stark detail their dilapidated state, natural overgrowth, and obvious duality of sad and playful symbolism. Previously self-published as Bizarro, this updated edition of Lawless's photographic tribute to decaying American amusement parks contains new content and a new foreword.
