This photo was taken in Pyramiden, once upon a time the world's northernmost town. This was once inhabitated by Russian and Ukranian coal miners and their family and is now part of Norway.
In 1998, the village’s population of around 300 people was told to leave behind everything but what they most needed. The operation was shuttered, and within a matter of months, the only occupants were seals, birds, and the occasional polar bear. Today, this ghost village showcases Soviet industrial life, literally frozen in time.
This shot remembers me of generative art as all the windows are the same but in each one you can see a different scene. Also the bricks of different colours and shades complete perfectly this composition. Similarly to a disease that spreads in an organ or in a tissue, you can see the progressive deterioration and decline of this settlement, hence the name Degenerative Art.
