Utopian models for urban planning have noticeably declined in popularity since the late 1970s, and their decline has led to the neglect of vestigial social pilot projects--simple leisure facilities like parks and public swimming pools. Austrian photographer Isabella Hollauf (born 1956) traces a changing value system by visiting these orphaned sites, contrasting former utopian hopes with the dismal reality of today's less ambitious aspirations.
