2014 Urbex: Ghosts of Industry & Street Art in Turin’s Backyard

In 2014, we slipped into an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Turin, Italy—one of those places where time collapses. Rusted structures, sunlight bleeding through broken skylights onto peeling paint… and then, the unexpected: vibrant street art cutting through the decay!

Among the standout pieces were works by KNZ (KNZ-clan, founded in Torino in 1992), whose signature surreal figures seemed to dialogue with the industrial carcass. Other artists had left their marks too: this gallery captures a moment when dereliction and creativity shared the same breath. (And yes, urbex rules were followed—no tags, no theft, just photographs and respect 😉
