Genius Luci

In our life, The phenomenon of the place is so important for understanding by humans who across or sees or being in spaces in their lives. In fact, they do not know or figure out the Place meaning. in the Modern world, there is an important distinguish meaning of place, space, and Non-place, people must know the meaning of them.

The phenomenon of the place reputed for classical Roman religion, by name of "Genius Luci"(the spirit of place). is a situation of memorable be in a specific location. On the other hand, Humans have remembered the places for recollection things. for example, being love in a specific shelter or the last time to see a parent( father or mother) in our lives in the Hospital or memorable home in childhood.

The non-place is a place or space with no soul in there for example subway or highway. there is no spirit of place in there, speed is so common in situations.

How humans are perceived spaces, places, or non-places by being there? are humans aware of? why humans do not realize that?

In conclusion, Humans have plenty of Genius Luci in their lives, but they do not aware of that. Maybe humans are being in The place or The non=place and they should try to know the meaning of them.

I try to expand this theory by taking these photos in the middle of Iran, The Varzaneh desert.
