Pablo Novak, Alone In The Flooded Town, Epecuen, Argentina

"I am OK here. I am just alone. I read the newspaper. And I always think of the town's golden days," of the 1960s and 1970s, says Novak. Back then as many as 20,000 people would visit every year to take the waters there.
Visitors pick up on Epecuen's spooky vibe eyeing abandoned beds from a former old folks home; dozens of stranded, toppled night tables from local hotels; and upended materials visitors and businessmen tried to pry out of the rubble to reuse as construction materials.
The town's surreal silvery cast has inspired filmmakers including Roland Joffe who in 2009 filmed the Spanish civil war-drama "There Be Dragons" there; and Argentina's Pino Solana who filmed scenes of his "El viaje" ("The Journey") locally.
