“Ruinenlust” – Emilia Lloret.

About

“I always return to taking pictures. The sense of getting close to capture memories without the need of words always pulls me back in. This is why I continue.
Creating pictures allows me to acknowledge my own feelings of solitude and vulnerability and enables me to relate to the world around me”.

“Taking the exploration of abandoned places in Berlin as a departing point, these pictures are a visual record of the experiences, encounters, and emotions I went through while I was visiting these locations.
More than a testimony, this series is an exploration of the sense of loss, impermanence and imperfection”.
