03 Alone Together Pripyat Port 002
Pripyat Port
I explored the world generated from the actual Chernobyl landscape depicted in Chernobylite, and took photos of the beautifully and intricately rendered scenery and man-made structures in photo mode to express it as virtual photography.
In the forest where all the activities of the people who used to live there have disappeared, the trees continue to grow thickly. The mist gently drifts by. The sunlight filters through the trees from between the branches. Amidst this, the numerous buildings created by humans are decaying.
The things that humans create may seem robust, but when they lose their connection with people, they rapidly lose their raison d'être and gradually head towards collapse. However, plants and forests continue to grow in number and flourish, even in such circumstances, and in the places where humans have disappeared, they quietly increase their numbers and flourish.
No matter what happens, the ‘nature’ that continues to exist there will always remain unchanged. Considering its overwhelming presence, the things that humans create are only given a momentary life.
