Lost Landscapes / 2023

“Lost Landscapes (2023) is a series of digitally manipulated photographic animations in which the logos of extractive companies operating in the North, such as the energy company Vattenfall and the mining companies LKAB and Kaunis Mining, are mirrored in the landscapes they exploit. Trembling like mirages, the iconic mountain landscapes – often referred to as “Europe’s last wilderness” – appear as empty shells, hollowed out from within and on the verge of collapse. The photographs were taken by the artist in the Swedish Arctic in 2022 during a residency at the Boden Art Hall “Havremagasinet”.
