A photographer with a passion for abandoned places, Jonk has traveled all over ex-Soviet Eastern Europe to immortalize the traces of another time. From East Germany to Ukraine, via Hungary and Bulgaria, he has explored these abandoned areas and encountered numerous "time capsules." Mines, military bases, theaters, schools, and hospitals are all places where Soviet communism was embodied. So many places carry strong symbols, workers' mottoes, and political figures. The bunkers of another age, the Chernobyl exclusion zone, and military schools tell us, in their own way, about the 20th century.
