# Haunting Architecture Photography Herbert Baglione Photographs the Soul Behind 1000 Shadows By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-10-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-shadows References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/herbert-baglione-1000-shadows-installation) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/herbert-baglione/145433915522682) For his project '1000 Shadows,' Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione transforms [abandoned spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper) in subtle ways. Whether it's a 16th-century church or an below-ground hospital, Baglione re-imagines some form of life in these forgotten places. Oftentimes, he will use the materials already there to create a new visual dynamic. Other times, Baglione makes a more overt artistic intervention by [painting murals on the walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) or [hanging objects from the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble). Looking at the images, you get a sense that the spaces are not only abandoned, but also haunted. Like something is lurking in the shadows, but you're unsure if it's good or evil. Taking a more positive interpretation, Baglione describes the work by saying, “It is as if the soul is leaving an invisible trail on these places.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Abandoned Spaces Transformation:** The trend of reimagining and repurposing abandoned spaces to create new visual dynamics and narratives. - **Artistic Interventions:** The trend of artists using murals and objects to make overt interventions and create new experiences in spaces. - **Haunted Aesthetic:** The trend of capturing haunting and mysterious vibes in architecture photography, evoking a sense of unknown and intrigue. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore opportunities to transform abandoned spaces into immersive art experiences. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with capturing the haunting aesthetic of abandoned spaces to create compelling visuals. - **Real Estate and Development:** Real estate developers can consider repurposing abandoned buildings to create unique and captivating spaces for commercial or residential use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Sculptural Ruin Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-horns.md) - [Nostalgic Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartamento-relicrio.md) - [Social Experiment Virtual Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncanny-spaces.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md)
