Photo Essay
Empty Amusement
June 7, 2010
Applying graphic design fundamentals while composing his photos, photographer Yosigo started to document spaces of different qualities and conditions, such as the beach and bathers of his native San Sebastian in Spain, abandoned industrial areas in the surrounding cities, or popular locations in London and Paris. Through his continual spatial explorations, and somehow unconsciously, he discovered his interest in amusement parks, realizing that when empty, the attraction to those spaces was even stronger. Colorful spaces, amusement parks provoke different, and somehow contradictory, feelings: from happiness and emotiveness to desolation and sadness. It depends on the point of view and experiences of the spectator.
