Project UrbEx - Nakamura Ikumi

A thrilling photographic adventure around an offbeat selection of the world’s abandoned buildings, captured by one of the videogame industry’s most beloved creatives. Project UrbEx documents a multitude of abandoned spaces – from decaying hotels and ex-military sites to disued factories to haunted hospitals -all seen through the eyes of the much-loved videogame creative Ikumi Nakamura. Much more than a photographic album, the book combines playful and humorous travel writing, videogame design theory, survival horror aesthetics and even manga comic illustrations – Project UrbEx offers a truly unique global adventure. Project UrbEx features a foreword by videogame-designer-turned-photographer Liam Wong, one of Thames & Hudson’s most popular photobook authors and now part of Nakamura’s new videogame studio UNSEEN.
