This outstanding photographic report aims to draw attention to the often dramatic fate of Lebanon's abandoned heritage and its frequently forgotten beauty. The locations featured all have their own stories to tell, in a variety of voices, but with one shared theme: the fall from grace.
After graduating with a degree in Design from the Nancy School of Fine Arts in 1986, Francis Meslet followed a career as a designer for a short time, but soon altered course and entered the world of advertising, where he worked for a number of agencies as Artistic Director. After 30 years immersed in the intricacies of copywriting and the analysis and understanding of image in all its component parts, he is now a Creative Director.In his spare time Francis travels the world in search of places that have fallen into disuse -- religious buildings where time has stood still since their doors were closed, intentionally or otherwise, for the last time. He returns with amazing pictures, each a time capsule, a record of a parallel universe. They prompt us to let our imaginations wander and encourage us to ask ourselves questions. Over time, a silence has enveloped these abandoned places, allowing people to form their own individual understanding of them.
