The idea of anticipated transience is one which all Urban explorers are aware of on some level, while exploring, the paradox, perhaps, being the sense of still, timelessness we experience in those dim, moss covered rooms. I've re-posted this page on Twitter. That we change histories, and create futures in these spaces, is the focus of my own work: check out my website if you have time! Cheers, Jane.

I couldn't agree more that it is an idea that heritage managers, and others in the heritage field such as I am, should be aware of. I also think its a great idea for looking at my field of conservation, because although we don't (at least traditionally) let others write themselves into the future of objects, we do write ourselves in as a matter of course. I am certainly going to think more about this idea. Thanks. Cheers, Dan Hi Bradley,
