Jonk’s New Photo Book Explores Nature Unfurling in Abandoned Architecture

Around the world, Jonathan Jimenez, a.k.a. Jonk, has visited more than 1,500 abandoned sites in nearly 50 countries. From crumbling churches to vacant theaters, the Paris-based photographer (previously) seeks unique ruins that nature gradually subsumes.

In Naturalia III, his tenth book, Jonk documents a range of striking locations from Portugal to Georgia to Japan. Find your copy on his website, where you can also find individual prints, and visit more places vicariously on Instagram.
