Abandoned world - An AI-generated exploration

A breathtaking journey through an AI-generated world.Drawing on fifteen years of urban exploration, with the help of artificial intelligence, Francis Meslet, a photographer of the poetry of ruins, takes us on a journey of discoverythrough an abandoned world in the not-so-distant future. Plant life reclaiming its rights in Europe's largest deserted libraries; the open-air ruins of the finest theatres; the remains of major decommissioned industrial facilities; Paris overgrown with vegetation; and the ruins of Notre-Dame, which couldn't be saved from the flames ... Francis's work is much more than just the iconographic documentation of an imagined world.It is an attempt to reconcile the future and the past, a meditation on the fragility of collective memory. A hunter of ephemeral moments, his generative art images reveal the duality of time, the coexistence of decline and radiance. With his sharp eye, he is a poet of decrepitude, capturing the soul of neglect and making each image a silent cry in the desert of contemporary indifference.
