Concrete skeletons

French photographer Loïc Vendrame, from his project Future Dust, Future Rust:

Future Rust, Future Dust began in 2016 and has taken Loïc to Cyprus, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey and the UAE. He explains the thinking behind it.

"This project was born out of an observation that led to this question: Why do we see so many concrete skeletons strewn along the roadsides of the main tourist destinations, often amidst idyllic landscapes?" says Loïc….

These concrete skeletons are the visible and frozen traces of this economic phenomenon, he explains. "But depending on the country, the financial crisis is not the only responsible factor. The collapse of the real estate bubble, speculation, local corruption which favours excessive construction – often illegally, economic problems, and bankruptcies are all factors still relevant today that explain the presence of these concrete skeletons in the landscape."
