Grounds of Silence

• Photographer
  Аnton Gorbachev, Russian Federation

Wandering around in some deserted areas, with a few traces of human presence, I find
myself in a place that is unique, and that becomes my personal space, my true home of
peace and silence. Here I stay to listen to the muteness of objects and nature. The
uninhabited territories represented in my photographs become a devastated landscape
showing the ambivalent nature of the relationship between nature and humans. This
relationship leads to a temporal and spatial gap, thus creating a model of the existence
in its disintegration.
