The red door let to a corridor with more messy rooms. They contained the same stuff as the previous ones: chinese paintings, chairs and tables. There seemed to be absolutely no logic in how the furniture was stored. When exiting one room you could never know what would be in the next one. In thisContinue reading “A Chinese Affair Part IV”

A Chinese Affair Part III
The first find was a connecting corridor to the second corridor in this wing. It was like H-shaped with one row of rooms on both sides and one row of rooms in the middle. In the first room were chopsticks, china and something, which looked a little like my school desk years back. Notice theContinue reading “A Chinese Affair Part III”
A Chinese Affair Part II
At the end of the last post we were left walking a red carpet into a former mental asylum turned into a some sort of a Chinese day spa. What greeted unauthorized visitors in the hall was a work of Chinese art now destroyed. There was also a large reception desk, which to me looksContinue reading “A Chinese Affair Part II”
A Chinese Affair Part I
In Finland there is a saying that something is a Chinese affair. It means that it requires quite a lot of effort to understand what the thing is about, and despite trying hard, is not quite understandable after all. Well this place is a real Chinese affair. And quite literally too. This building is aContinue reading “A Chinese Affair Part I”
Senseless Destruction Part III
I entered the 1930’s built yellow building through the back. This is the main message wrtitten in the kitchen: the school offered shitty potatoes. Quite a message to deliver. The 1930’s building was equally as badly destroyed as the newer building was. There really wasn’t much to see. The old building had been renovated atContinue reading “Senseless Destruction Part III”
Senseless Destruction Part II
The first interior shot from the main building, which I entered through a back door area, which had suffered a fire. Perhaps this is when you realize the title of this post. I have never seen a building, which has suffered such an extensive damage by vandals. I mean, there is literally nothing left. AllContinue reading “Senseless Destruction Part II”
Senseless Destruction Part I
On the outskirts of a regional centre was an old municipal home. In the 1930’s an annex was built to the old wooden houses, and in the 1960’s another building was added to make the area a regional hospital. Decades went, no major renovations were made and the city decided to concentrate health care toContinue reading “Senseless Destruction Part I”
The Z Part II
There was still quite a lot of old hospital equipment left in the building. It seemed like the hospital district didn’t care about it anymore after the hospital was closed in 2000. Paint is slowly peeling off the walls. The building has sat abandoned for 20 years, and apparently heating has been off for severalContinue reading “The Z Part II”
The Z Part I
Somewhere in Eastern Finland is a former mental asylum. It was closed down in the early 2000’s and sat idle for a few years before a huge spa hotel was built on its grounds to attract Russian tourists. The most important buildings were restaurated, the largest ones were demolished. But then there was the Z.Continue reading “The Z Part I”
A Tiny Oddity
Most of the factory next to the Barbed Wire Villa has been demolished since production ended in the 1980’s, but several buildings in various states of decay were still around. The area of the main factory was now a metal recycling plant. But on the opposite side of the road from it were two otherContinue reading “A Tiny Oddity”
