年轻女摄影师Maroesjka Lavigne (b.1989, Belgium比利时) 深入西非沙漠腹心，拍摄了这系列意喻虚无之地，名叫“Land of Nothingness”的摄影作品系列。

纳米比亚是一个以沙漠为名的国家。荒漠无垠，天地茫茫，却有着多变的色彩。想想那广阔的褐色焦土平原，白色的盐田，以及粉红色调的沙丘。长时间开车行驶在荒芜中探寻这些微妙变化的风景需要耐心与敏锐。处处人烟稀少，见到加油站也觉得仿佛不是真实的存在。但是在尽头，却有让人深深着迷与震撼的风景。长颈鹿，斑马，牛成群结队而移，火烈鸟翩然起舞，一只大象在群落中突然跌倒。在这里，动物是大地的主人，他们好奇的看着人类，又转眼忘记，慢慢的享受属于自己的旅途。

A country named after a desert, defined by the rich variety of colors in an ever changing barren landscape. It draws you in through a vast brown plain of scorched earth, and steers you over the white surface of a salt pan to finally arrive in the pink hue of the sand dunes. Patience is required to discover the wide range of Namibia’s subtly nuanced scenery. It literally takes you hours, driving through nothing, to at long last arrive at… more of nothing. The sight of other people is rare and only the strategically located gas stations are a reminder of the world beyond. This country is in another time zone. Time seems to move slower but it feels more logical. Captivated by these colored landscapes, you can drive for hours. Chaperoned by herds of giraffes or zebra’s, shadowed by flocks of flamingo’s, suddenly stumbling upon a family of elephants. The animals look up curiously, but soon forget about you and slowly continue their journey, at their own pace.
