Jonk travels the world looking for abandoned places. Today, he has visited more than one thousand and five hundred of them in almost fifty countries on four continents. To be touched by a place, he needs to see that only time passing had an impact on it, without any human intervention: cracked walls, peeling paints, rusted iron and nature taking over.
The ideal is to feel that he is in what he calls time capsules, get the impression that time has stopped for years, for decades.
With time, his interest has focused on those places on which only time had an impact. Among them are what seems to him the strongest in the abandoned world: if it’s certainly the return of nature from a philosophical point of view, it is certainly the Soviet vestiges on a more pictorial side.
