Kenopsia:
*n.* the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet—an emotional afterimage that makes it seem not just empty but hyper-empty, with a total population in the negative, who are so conspicuously absent they glow like neon signs.
*From the ' The dictionary of obscure sorrows.'By John koenigs
Parting from this made up word of Greek origin, *kenosis* "empty" + *opsia*"watch", this series of photographs try to enact the state of emptiness, varing from emotional to spatial. From what once held it's vitality and glory to a state of decay and abandonment. The spirit and energy that lingers is represented by the observation and juxtaposition of the model with the remaining objects.
