Caption

"The ruins that Vincent J. Stoker photographs are former places of production, entertainment, incarceration and worship. They were once the embodiment of an industrial project and political dream.

 

It could be said he is photographing the remnants of the Cold War’s front lines incarnated in architectural ruins throughout Eastern Europe.

The buildings are abandoned to nature that claims what is rightfully hers, to vagrants and artists who use them for shelter or places of expression. Here, a poetic pornographer strolling the premises of the "hanging room" (locker room) of a former German coal mine.

 

His images tell us about human vanity and its actual frailty."
