A collaboration between Dan Dubowitz and Patrick Duerden

Jumping fences and exploring dense and over grown forests they have discovered huge and sublime modern ruins, the remains of holiday camps for the vast fascist youth programme, and what started as a series of road trips across Italy has became an extraordinary exploration of the archaeology of the present.

Fascismo Abbandonato (or Fascism in Ruins) is the result. It takes the form of an artwork recording the extraordinary forgotten monuments that Dubowitz and Duerden discovered on the Tuscan and Emilio-Romanian coasts between 2005 and 2008.
