SHARE

Jonathan Jimenez, also known as Jonk, is a renowned photographer based in Paris who has explored over 1,500 abandoned sites across nearly 50 countries. His passion lies in capturing the beauty of ruins as nature slowly takes over, from decaying churches to deserted theaters.

In his latest book, “Naturalia III,” Jonk showcases a diverse array of captivating locations spanning from Portugal to Georgia to Japan. This publication is a testament to his dedication to documenting these forgotten places and preserving their haunting allure. Copies of “Naturalia III” can be purchased on his website, where you can also find individual prints of his work. For more immersive experiences, you can follow Jonk on Instagram.

One of the striking images captured by Jonk features an abandoned church in Belarus, where lush greenery has taken root inside and crept up the walls, creating a surreal juxtaposition of decay and growth. Similarly, a water park in Portugal stands frozen in time, with vegetation reclaiming the once-vibrant slides and pools. In Belgium, an abandoned swimming pool serves as a stark reminder of the passage of time, as plants thrive in the neglected space.

Jonk’s exploration extends to France, where he documented an abandoned chapel enveloped by nature, showcasing the intricate interplay between man-made structures and the environment. In Italy, an abandoned swimming pool tells a similar story of abandonment and transformation, with vines snaking their way through the empty space. Meanwhile, an unfinished construction site in Moldova offers a glimpse into a halted project, now overrun by greenery.

The photographer’s travels also led him to an abandoned theater in Georgia, where nature has reclaimed the space with a sense of poetic beauty. In Portugal, an abandoned hotel stands as a ghostly reminder of past grandeur, now inhabited by plants and wildlife. The cover of “Naturalia III” captures the essence of Jonk’s work, featuring an abandoned building with a tree growing towards an opening in the ceiling, symbolizing the resilience of nature in the face of decay.

Through his evocative imagery, Jonk invites viewers to contemplate the passage of time, the fragility of human creations, and the enduring power of nature. His work serves as a poignant reminder of the impermanence of all things, urging us to appreciate the beauty that can be found in decay. As you delve into the world of Jonk’s abandoned sites, you are transported to a realm where past and present converge, creating a visual narrative that is both haunting and mesmerizing.
