tl;dr: this is a short article about a book of photos of indoor resorts, such as indoor skiing halls in Dubai, or indoor pools with tropical island decor. Not particularly "bizarre" IMHO
Thanks for the TL;DR. I abandoned after the first paragraph because Wired throws up a modal when using an ad blocker. The lead wasn't interesting enough to disable the modal.
Edit: uBlock Origin blocks the modal, AdBlock doesn't.
My tldr could have been a little more helpful, actually. The OP direct links to an online gallery of some of the photos on the photographer's homepage: http://www.photography.at/_fake_holidays.html
