A study in scale without a story.
One structure, roughly three kilometres long, standing alone in open grassland. Tens of thousands of identical windows across a facade that reads like a punch card. No city, no motorway, no car park — only a single dirt track, worn soft by feet, that arrives at the middle of it and stops.
What makes the image unsettling isn't the size. It's the mismatch: a building this large implies industry, population and logistics, and yet there is no infrastructure anywhere in frame. The grass around it is grazed, not overgrown, which means this place is not abandoned. It's just empty.
The palette is deliberately muted — overcast daylight, pale concrete, cold green — closer to documentary photography of post-war social housing than to science fiction. That's the point. This is what a megastructure would look like if it had been built by a ministry rather than a machine.
For anyone interested in brutalist architecture, Soviet and Yugoslav modernist housing, megastructures, liminal spaces or worldbuilding: the series is built on one question — where did everybody go?
Technical notes: AI-generated concept art, assembled into a continuous sequence, original ambient score. 4K vertical and widescreen masters. English subtitles; French and German tracks in progress.
