Deserted village

I grew up with this animals. Most of them are no longer alive and I wanted to tell their stories. Some of them I actually photographed on our farm in places where they stuck. The rest was reassembled from my old, family photograph album.

And yet this lack of cows, however rational it may be, gives one the feeling that the fields and meadows, deprived of their phlegmatic, bemusedly ruminating presence, are pitifully empty.

Stanislaw Lem’s THE FUTUROLOGICAL CONGRESS – a sci-fi novel from 1971

„Deserted village” is a story about animals that are no longer natural in the nature, are becoming less and less common in the countryside and do not have their future in our cities. Their fates show the transformation that takes place on our farm, in the whole village and in our minds.
