Matt Lambros | on Tumblr (USA) - Abandoned theaters
Abandoned architecture has always fascinated Matt Lambros, as his grandmother used to take him and his brother to investigate any old barn she happened to drive past. She was curious about what was left behind, and her inquisitive nature made a lasting impression on Matt. Matt grew up in Dutchess County, New York, and like most places there were quite a few supposedly “haunted” buildings begging for a closer look. Hudson River State hospital, one of the first places he went to on his own, was one of them. He used to drive around with his friends the campus late at night trying to scare each other. It was then that Matt’s interest in abandoned buildings evolved into a vehicle for artistic expression.
Matt has spent ten years composing photographic obituaries for once-thriving buildings that are now crumbled and forgotten. His hope for his work is that it will shine light on beautiful, dated architecture and on the equal yet sinister beauty in decay.
