The cycle of photographs entitled “Silence” ranks to earlier free works by Dušan Šimánek. It developed in abandoned houses in the Prague neighborhood of Žižkov shortly before their demolishment at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, but it nevertheless does not represent a documentary. The non-manipulated photographs have the character of abstract painting; the boundaries between reality and illusion are blurred. The series was originally executed in the medium of cibachrome and sold to private collections in Switzerland. Several exceptional photographs were then reprinted on special art paper.
