What would happen if mankind suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth? Imagining the answer has fascinated people since the dawn of time and the answers vary as our society changes and evolves.
As we are facing many challenges today (pandemic, deforestation, pollution, global warming, armed conflicts), those images remind us as a memento mori of what our world could look like tomorrow…
In this series of photographs, I invite you to travel with me through this post-apocalyptic world of your imagination!

I think my pictures act as a new kind of “Memento Mori”; they are here to remind us that everything has an end and that we should enjoy it while it lasts. These pictures represent our past but they could also represent our future! When you see where the world is heading, I would be pretty pessimistic. I would like to think it’s not too late but when you see the last report of the GIEC, I have trouble seeing global warming suddenly stopping. But I guess it is still worth fighting for a better future.
My new book “Green Urbex 2: The World Without Us” was just published last week if you want to check out more of my work. There are twelve focuses on unique places with their full history! There is also the perfect introduction from the graphic novel author Mathieu Bablet, who wrote “Shangri-la” or “Carbone & Silicium”. His ecological and environmental work always struck me as being close to the message I want to convey with my images. You will find inside more than two hundred new photographs from the last ten years.
