Modern Ruins is a large-format deluxe art book containing hundreds of photographs by acclaimed London-based photographer Robin Hudson. Part of the urban-exploration (or 'urbex') co mmunity, Robin travels to remote locations – sanatoriums, hilltop villas, monasteries, hotel hideaways, vineyard farmhouses, decommissioned factories – to document magnificent or historically significant architecture from the recent past that has fallen into decline and sits abandoned awaiting demolition... or possibly renovation. Some of the locations in Modern Ruins have collapsed since being photographed so their memory lives on in this collection. Let your imagination roam as you mingle with the ghosts inhabiting these elegiac, time-forgotten spaces. Tune & Fairweather, 324pp, 32cm x 27cm, three-quarter bound hardcover in Geltex Seda (unique pastel shade with each three cover variants), flat spine blind-blocked with ‘elegant decline’ weathered texture, printed on high-bulk uncoated 140gsm Arena White Rough Italian design paper, dust jacket screen-printed in matte white on 170gsm Polyedra Satin.
