By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/escape-from-the-hustle-and-bustle-photos-of-europeans-hiding-from-civilization.htmlIn recent decades, the voluntary flight of people from modern civilization has become increasingly popular in the developed world. As a rule, this applies to residents of large cities who are hiding from the benefits and bustle of the post-industrial economy.
French photographer Antoine Brouy has been traveling for several years on the farms of Europeans hiding from time and taking pictures of their everyday life. The photographer puts the resulting frames in a series of Scrublands.
