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.
