Landscapes of emptiness are not just empty representations in which there is nothing
but they are rather a representation suggesting the earlier presence that contain material
traces of human existence. Abandoned places with equal force have been disturbing and
fascinating but the reasons and causes of their ravages are often different. Can be found here
Chernobyl Zone, the American ghost towns, Polish cities deserted by the Soviet army after the change of the political system, a small town with complicated history like Miedzianka,
or uninhabited cities like Ordos. Photographs of the landscapes of emptiness come back and
haunt us. Their meaning is not always clear, often disappear for seemingly quiet, full of silence
picture. Such photographs could be considered as a translation of the experience of space, made
according to the rules appropriate for the cultural representation: creating photographic images
of abandoned places always starts process of symbolization. We could say that the photographs
of emptiness are palimpsest’s sum of past meanings, elements of deep layers of culture and
individual experience
