Entgegen der westlichen Vorstellung von Nichts (im Sinne eines physikalischen Vakuums oder einer Abwesenheit) beinhaltet der Begriff Shunyata also gleichzeitig das Potential der Entstehung von Phänomenen („Form ist nichts anderes als Leere, und Leere ist nichts anderes als Form“) Der Begriff der Shunyata leitet sich unmittelbar aus der buddhistischen Lehre vom Nicht-Selbst ab. Er verweist auf die Substanzlosigkeit aller Phänomene infolge ihrer Abhängigkeit von bedingenden Faktoren, ihrem bedingten Entstehen. „Leerheit“ ist eine Umschreibung für das Fehlen eines konstanten Seins, einer Eigennatur und eines beständigen Ich im steten Wandel der Existenz. Die Erscheinungen sind in ihrer Leerheit ohne eigenes Kennzeichen, ohne inhärente Eigenschaften und damit nicht mehr als nominalistische Begriffe einer nicht wesenhaften Welt. Die Welt ist keine Welt des Seins, sondern des ständigen Werdens, in dem es keine festen Substanzen und keine unumstößlichen Realitäten gibt.
Contrary to the western idea of nothing (in the sense of a physical vacuum or an absence), the term Shunyata also contains the potential for phenomena to arise ("Form is nothing other than emptiness, and emptiness is nothing other than form")The term Shunyata is derived directly from the Buddhist doctrine of not-self. He points to the insubstantiality of all phenomena as a result of their dependence on conditioning factors, their conditioned origin “Voidness” is a paraphrase for the lack of a constant being, an intrinsic nature and a constant self in the constant change of existence. In their emptiness, the appearances are without their own characteristics, without inherent properties and thus no more than nominalistic concepts of a non-essential world. The world is not a world of being, but of constant becoming, in which there are no solid substances and no irreversible realities.

Franz Hümpfner is a well-known photographer. He always tries to convey the reality hidden behind the visible world through his photographs. For him, a camera is a tool for his artistic work, similar to how a painter uses brushes and paint to create his works.
He employs both analog and digital techniques. "A photograph requires the feel of paper," he says, adding that "the fleeting representation on the screen cannot convey the sensual quality of a photograph." He also creates Zen or Wabisabi photography, which can express themes such as the beauty, transience, and imperfection of everything that exists particularly well due to its simplicity. He also discussed this type of photography theoretically in his book "Photoartfolio 1 - Wabi Sabi Photography."
According to Franz Hümpfner, "A limited edition print has the same artistic quality as an open edition photograph. A photograph with artificial limitations has the quality of a stock that is speculating on rising value." This is the reason why he offer his photography in an open edition.
