The Earth is cracking beneath out feet and disintegrating before our eyes, but in its centre you can no longer see neither the beautiful Persephone, nor the dead Eurydice, or even the hellfire depicted in Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings. The cracks are more and more often post-mining sinkholes, huge excavations of opencast mines, quarries, mining damage. In areas such as Upper Silesia or Zag\u0142\u0119bie D\u0105browskie, mining and post-mining areas, the spectre of the Carbocene, an epoch in the history of the world, which is the reverse of the carboniferous period, looks out of the holes. Epoch of mining, exploiting, ravaging and inflicting more and more severe blows on the Earth.<\/p>\n
