Pecha Kucha is a presentation format where presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each, resulting in a 6 minutes, 40 seconds show. Pecha Kucha Nights are a mix of poetry slams, slide shows and powerpoint presentations, with participants typically from the fields of architecture, design, photography and arts.

After the success of my presentation at the first Pecha Kucha night, the organizers re-invited me to present again. I showed a selection of photographs from four decaying locations from Italy. Check out the slides:
