ACID FACTORY / FINLAND
i was attracted to this building when i saw the rubbish heap behind it and when i came closer it seemed quite unused, but i was absolutely not sure about that. when i found the open backdoor i was tempted to take a closer look of course, and so i went in. the first rooms were dark and full of trash, similar to the stuff outside. somehow everything was very corroded, rusty and with a toxic smell in the spoiled air...then i discovered the first chemical signs with skulls on it. and the tanks. i had dahmers acid buckets in mind and went on. the whole place was full of this tanks, wich were open on top and didn't look very save at all. but exept some cristalized chemicals in some of them there were n liquid substances at all...maybe i was inhaling all the evaporated stuff already? the frontside of the building was filled with dirtfiltered light and more leftovers, empty cardboard boxes and trashy things of all kinds. in the office ,wich was seperated from the toxic areas of this once (still) unhealthy workplace the collection of rubbish continued, i didn't take the time to graze it proberly otherwise i would for sure have found some treasures, but at this moment i still wasn't sure if i would be find some bad surprises. as the building had more levels, than the one i was in and i kept hearing muffled noises i tried to be able to initiate the escape sequence in case of nearing trouble. outside cars were coming and going. i went on in the toxic halls and found some strange pin-ups, h&m underwear models, wich are pretty common in a lot of places i have been, but in this case there was also an article about elton john pinned to the door of a locker. through an completly dark and dusty walked up to the upper level, but it was locked up with several heavy duty locks...and so i went down into the realms of the bottom level wich was only half underground, again the rooms on the frontside where filled with yellow light wich came through the stained windows (condensed acid?) also here everything was covered with an crisallized layer or just very corroded. down here there were even more tanks and the rooms seemed to be filled with the spirit of heavy work. in some parts the toxic gases have even destroyed the metal holdings of the pipes wich ran along under the ceiling and they were fixed with plastic violet straps. at this point i got drawn into the place and forgot about the sounds i heard from outside and i had no idea to get out if someone would come in the way i did or through one of the doors wich were locke dfrom the outside. in the backpart of the bottom level there where no windows anymore and it seemed that here everything was rusty even more..more cardboard boxes of german industrial supplies, nokia-rubberboots, pin-ups laying in the bright and warming sun and the dirt ridden overalls of mikke and anti...
