A destroyed car, a train never removed from the tracks, half-collapsed depots, houses that have surrendered to the call of nature. For some people they are a nuisance and must disappear.

The image gallery we are sharing below (courtesy of Design You Trust) shows the photographer's journey through different locations in Germany (he lives in Berlin) and is part of the #decay_nation campaign. However, Markus usually travels across Europe with his camera. If you want to see more of his work, you can visit his official Instagram profile or his Facebook account.
