Far from being romantic monuments to a distant past (like Stonehenge or a Greek temple) urban ruins captured by the members of the DK Photo Group offer poignant and troubling evidence of industrial collapse and economic failure. Traces of the once bustling, grand atmosphere of each building remain, hinting at the human stories underneath rust, dust and peeling paint.

Relinquished aims to illustrate the folly of demolition by neglect. The photographers of the DK Photo Group (DKPG) aim for their images to change human behaviour and to instill an appreciation for what has come before. Without the information the photographs provide, viewers will not even know what they are missing. DKPG strives to provide a better understanding of abandoned buildings in order tocreate a sense of wonder about history.

The AGO Art Rental + Sales Gallery presents A World Abandoned, the DK Photo Group’s (DKPG) photographic exploration of European architectural decay and abandonment. Photographed during the filming of a television series for Bravo! Canada titled photoXplorers, DKPG’s images provide a haunting look at forgotten industrial mega-structures, castles, institutions and churches. The resulting photographs are beautiful, original and eerily alive.
