We’ve never been able to shake the vision of an apocalyptic Dubai – a seemingly inevitable time when the scores of largely unoccupied skyscrapers inching towards the Gulf will be evacuated and swallowed up by the surrounding desert. And now renowned British photographer Richard Allenby Pratt has created a series of images called Abandoned that makes such a nightmare tangible. By inserting images of the odd lion, rhino, or kangaroo in the dry and broken landscape, Richard calls attention to the plight of the world’s creatures that we have so shamelessly plundered in our ceaseless devotion to acquisition.
Abandoned has been displayed at The Empty Quarter Gallery in Dubai and the artist constantly seeks opportunities to do solo exhibits. Other themes addressed in his work include light pollution and local architecture. Visit Richard’s website to see more images from his Abandoned series along with his other work.
