The Green Line, UN Buffer Zone, Cyprus

[bartje]

Since 1974 there a big part of Cyprus became abandoned after creating a cease-fire line between Cyprus and the unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

36 years of decay. Abandoned houses, hotels, shops and even cardealer.
That means: several 'new' cars with only 37 driven miles,
vintage advertising in the streets and much much more!

These photographs were made by my brother Bo de Visser, he was one of the few photographers who was able to explore this place.
