<b><i>Huffington Post</i> called him "a master of the abandoned"--and for good reason. Take a strange and wonderful photographic journey into a world time has forgotten--amusement parks that have been shut down and overgrown.</b> <p/>The "artivist" known only as Seph Lawless has spent the last ten years photo-documenting the America that was left behind in the throes of economic instability and overall decline--decrepit shopping malls, houses, factories, even amusement parks. <p/>Through nearly two hundred gorgeous and elegiac photographs, <i>Abandoned</i> details Lawless's journey into what was once the very heart of American entertainment: the amusement park. Here is includes: <br><ul><li>Disney World's Discovery Island and River Country</li><li>Joyland Amusement Park</li><li>Dogpatch USA</li><li>Fun Spot Amusement Park and Zoo</li><li>Bushkill Amusement Park</li><li>Land of Oz</li><li>Lake Shawnee Amusement Park</li><li>Geauga Lake Amusement Park</li><li>Spreepark</li><li>Chippewa Lake Amusement Park</li><li>Enchanted Forest Playland</li><li>And more!</li></ul><br>Lawless visits deserted parks across the country, capturing in stark detail their dilapidated state, natural overgrowth, and obvious duality of sad and playful symbolism. Previously self-published as <i>Bizarro</i>, this updated edition of Lawless's photographic tribute to decaying American amusement parks contains new content and a new foreword.
