About This Event

Peeling paint, silent rooms and traces of lives once lived—abandoned places hold a particular fascination for those curious enough to look closely. Join urban exploration photographer Clare O’Flanagan for an atmospheric journey through forgotten places across the UK and Europe, including a poignant visit to Chernobyl. Through her stark photographs of decay, Clare reveals spaces that are rarely seen, finding compelling subjects in the details left behind. Known as urbex photography , this exploration of abandoned buildings brings together architecture, history and the visual effects of time and neglect. Clare’s images invite us to consider the stories these places hold, while appreciating the textures, light and shadows that give them their distinctive atmosphere. An intriguing evening for photographers, history enthusiasts and anyone drawn to the hidden corners of the built world. Clare will present this talk via Zoom. Join fellow members at the Humfrey Rooms, Castilian Terrace, Northampton , or watch from home using the Zoom link to be added shortly
