Century III Mall In Extremis, and Le Flâneur de Beaudelaire – A Sequel | ExLog #36 4K!!

Welcome to another episode of the Expedition Log Series! In episode 36, we go on a grand adventure through all parts of the infamous dead mall… Century III Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We also will discuss the philosophical idea that Charles Beaudelaire introduced in Les Fleurs des Mal of «Le Flaneur». This new social figure gave way to the pioneers of urban exploration (urbex), who in the 1800’s were the Impressionist Painters! Monet, Caillebotte, Renoir, Degas…all of these legendary painters would traverse less-traveled paths to paint scenes for their audience who never would’ve seen the scenes before. This laid the groundwork for the new wave of urbex today. Come take a walk with me as we uncover the secrets of Century III, and go on a philosophy ride!
