Bradley Garrett is a photographer and researcher with significant experience in anthropology and archaeology. He spent the last five years of his life exploring abandoned and forgotten places in cities around the world. Invading sewer systems, bunkers, old subway stations and the rooftops of active skyscrapers without permission, he photographs and explores these unusual locations, calling his occupation “hacking places”. These photographs, included in his new book Exploring Everything, were taken in more than 300 locations in 8 countries and show the joy, horror and surprise that the serial intruder had to face.
