This photograph shows an inside view of an abandoned steel plant in Charleroi, southern Belgium, on February 9, 2026. Once a major industrial city of the coal industry, Charleroi still bears the marks of a working-class past now lying fallow. As they venture through its abandoned factories, urban explorers (urbex) end up telling the story of a system as much as of a pastime: that of a capitalism which pours investment into a place, exploits it, then withdraws, leaving behind nothing but ruins to explore.
