Pablo Novak, Alone In The Flooded Town, Epecuen, Argentina
|
Epecuen was a beautiful tourist town in Argentina. Epecuen was destroyed by the flood on November 10, 1985. Since then it stayed abandoned.
In a town all but destroyed when its salt lake overflowed over three decades ago, the desolation is surreal: from silvery-white empty houses and hotels to trees, stark and dead; and one lonely man who calls this home.
Once a lake country spa town south of Buenos Aires, Epecuen is a lagoon with a salinity level only topped by the Dead Sea. For decades, tourists visited to take its waters believing they were good for one's health.
