Welcome to Undercity.org! All content on this site is the work of Steve Duncan, unless otherwise noted. About me
and this site: I’m particularly fascinated by underground infrastructure and environments, as well as all of the forgotten, invisible, and abandoned places that exist in cities. One of the most interesting things I’ve found is that, especially in cities, going into underground or abandoned places means going back in time, and seeing things that have remained unchanged and perhaps unseen since they were first constructed fifty, a hundred, or a hundred and fifty years ago. With my photography, I try to capture both the sense of history that I find in these places, as well as the excitement and adventure that comes of seeing something unique that few others will ever have the chance to see. When you’re looking at these photos, remind yourself that in addition to the city you see around you, there’s another city that you only see hints of-- a city of interconnected tunnels and inaccessible rooftops, of steam and sewer and water pipes, a city of century-old abandoned subway stations and forgotten foundations of buildings and bright graffiti paintings, all overlaid with the rich stories of the millions of lives that have all added their own threads to the fabric of the city.
