This post contains a series of photographs of industrial architecture taken at the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen, Germany. The photographs are presented without further information except for the title and the location. No explanations, no talking. Just enough silence to allow for silent conversations between you and the image. What story does it tell you? Which emotions does it convey? Does it mean something to you? Why? Feel free to ask each photo and listen to its answers.

I encourage you to click on the photos for a larger view in an almost distraction-free lightbox.
