A solitary lamp in an abandoned hospital at Budapest, Hungary

In a desolate, dead block, somewhere in the suburban Budapest lies an abandoned hospital. The building was built in 1985 and was used only for eight years, until its closure in 1993. Apart from missing equipment, the hospital is relatively intact, the structure still stands strong, vandalism has not advanced into it luckily.

Abandoned Antonov aeroplane

This army station was in use for nearly 50 years, giving home to numerous Soviet fighter planes of the well-known Mig aeroplane family. On average, 40 Mig-s were stationed here. The flight crew and the staff with their families lived in small flats situated nearby the base. This arrangement formed a small, closed community, separated from the rest of the area. After the Soviets left the airport, most of the old structures were demolished. Luckily, some service blocks. equipment, a fire truck and a lonely Antonov aeroplane somehow still survived.

Art Brut by Peter Sarkozi

The term  art brut was created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture; Dubuffet focused particularly on art by insane-asylum inmates. While Dubuffet's term is quite specific, the English version of the term "outsider art" is often applied more broadly, to include certain self-taught or Naïve art makers who were never institutionalized. Typically, those labeled as outsider artists have little or no contact with the mainstream art world or art institutions. In many cases, their work is discovered only after their deaths. Often, outsider art illustrates extreme mental states, unconventional ideas, or elaborate fantasy worlds.
