This video is a 30-minute introduction to the practice of urban exploration. Constructed as a video article for the journal Geography Compass, the article uses footage from the author’s own explorations in California, Las Vegas and London to visually depict a theoretical unpacking of the practice by 5 academic geographers.

Interesting video – it’s nice to see this mix of academic and amateur practices. A few years ago, I explored a disused hospital that was next door to my art college – quite disturbing, as you’d imagine. Couldn’t access the article via that link, but did find it on Garrett’s site.
