Photographs explore the industrial memory embedded in the urban landscapes of Bytom-Bobrek, Swietochlowice - Lipiny and Ruda Slaska—once among the most dynamic centers of European heavy industry. From the late 19th century onward, coal mines, coke plants, and steelworks transformed Silesia into a powerful industrial region, shaping not only the economy but also the architecture, culture, and social life of its cities.

After the economic transition of the 1990s, many of these structures fell silent. Mines were closed, coke plants dismantled, and slag heaps abandoned. Yet their monumental forms and workers' estates remain.

The series captures scenes such as: a miners’ housing estate near the former Bobrek plant, the black spoil heaps of Ruda Slaska, and the looming silhouette of the Bobrek coking plant. Some photographs were taken during the Corpus Christi procession, showing how these industrial landscapes remain intertwined with contemporary cultural and religious life.

Each panorama reveals how these remnants—whether decaying, repurposed, or simply standing still—continue to shape the cityscape.

Horizons of What Remains is both a visual and historical reflection: a meditation on how traces of industry persist in contemporary life, reminding us that the identity of a city is not built overnight but layered through cycles of labor, transformation, and resilience.
