Two ideas stands behind this urban exploration videos section. Firstly, an attempt to bring another dimension to traditionnal photograpy, more dynamic. The goal is to share and to remind these abandoned and forgotten places that belongs to our cultural inheritance. That's the case of the footage "Snow at SAFEA", the most famous Belgian abandoned factory, now demolished. Secondly, showing infiltration attempts into forbidden places. Some of these footages will be password protected.
