About the event
For 7 years, Lo.u.rbex has roamed abandoned sites, mostly in Ireland, hunting hidden gems, occasionally turning them into underground art galleries & raves. The stunning images and videos have had hundreds of thousands of views - on Instagram and TikTok as Exploring_ie - showing people the strange beauty of abandoned places. This new era of DIY culture has once more focused thought on the waste of abandoned places when the demand for space: public and private to live, work and play in and to create art is so shamefully unmet. Lo.u.rbex talks to original DIY pioneer Dylan Haskins about his ten most memorable places, about underground culture, dereliction and what's in his exploring kitbag. With video and images.
