Ёжик — Who is who

Nuclear Electro stations are most common place to meet Urbanists,

… There is a huge blue building with high stack. It is power block, which contains one of reactors. The water, which cools reactor, runs down a cold wide channel with concrete paving stores. Four powerful waterfalls throw the heated by reactor water to another channel. The sky is scratched by great number of high-voltage lines. Drowning and crackling constantly stays in the air. Every metal thing gives a spark, if anything touches it. The territory is enclosed by a fence with several lines of barbed wire under a tension above it. There are rusty rails, neglected train, piles of wreckage and strange metal construction beyond the fence. You’re sitting on the hill and admiring technogenical idyll, when a guy, who wears snugly fitting goggles, rubber gloves and rucksack with photo camera in his hands turns up beside you. He is Urbanist.

Urbanists are Vincent Gibson’s followers. He was failure photographer, who was the first man that formed the idea to take a black-and-white picture of children playing at an industrial dust-heap.

Urbanists are people of industrial culture, who derive inspiration in the aesthetic of neglected factories, mills, plants, rusty standstill mechanisms.

“It’s incomparable sense, when you’re watching sunset in such place! It seems, that you’re the last human on the Earth,”— they say.

Often such technogenical romantic can stray to restricted zone, while anticipating interesting stills. Then there is a possibility for him to be caught by police. And urbanists endure noradrenalin shocks, when they escape from policemen.

One of Urbanism’s trends is called “ill filtration”. It is illegal penetrations into prohibited industrial, urban and transport object.
