The air dojo is hidden in the middle of the countryside behind a wall that must be climbed to access it. It appears to be a former Air Force training center, as evidenced by the traces of life we find there. Everything shows signs of recent activity, as if the place had never really been abandoned. There are tidy classrooms, a well-maintained dojo, an almost new punching bag, and even a working vacuum cleaner.
Sunlight floods the rooms, creating a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with the vigilance imposed by the possible presence of military personnel or guards. The deeper we went, the more signs of life we saw. Our exploration ended quickly, just in time to avoid any unfortunate encounters.
This unique playground, where bucolic calm meets contained tension, offers photographers a place where light, military order, wall textures, and signs of life subtly blend together to tell a story that is both contemporary and suspended in time.
