The derelict sensation invites
contributions from anyone
interested in derelict
buildings or abandoned
spaces. Visit
our collection of
photographs, writing,
interviews, research,
and viewpoints. Drama,
film, site-specific and
other art, photography,
video art and music will
be featured
at live events.
Derelict spaces provide
spaces to live, to explore,
to experiment or to party.
Sometimes we think of
a particular building,
sometimes a particular
texture or mood. Thoughts
about derelict buildings
are connected
to a particular moment
in our lives, often
during a time of change.
Derelict spaces have
a strange power and fascination.
They stir up strong memories
and cause us to question
our sense of the permanence
of the built environment
that surrounds and shapes
us, and our ideas about
utility, market
values and heritage.
