These concrete skeletons are the visible and frozen traces of this. 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 favors 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. 

Spain and Greece are the symbols of this collapse and have been the subject of numerous studies by researchers and photographers. But what about other countries? To what extent have the crisis and aggravating economic factors a visibly impact on the landscape? 

Through the archaeological study of modern ruins, the exploration of ghost cities, aborted tourism projects, unused infrastructures, or roads leading to nowhere, the repetition of forms and the accumulation of visited areas, this project is intended as a testimony to document the tragedies of our time. 

These unfinished structures, frozen in time and space, becoming the future traces of a failing present, are witnesses to this big waste of - often public - money and ecological tragedies. These unfinished constructions are now digested by the nature which they once chased away to settle down.
