Pictorial Works Aitik (Copper Mine) Copper Mines And Mining

The industrial nature in northern Sweden. 'A Place Disappearing' is an ongoing collaboration between Tomas Örn, Anja Örn and Fanny Carinasdotter (Norrakollektivet) around the big open pit mine Aitik in Sakajärvi. 'A Place Disappearing' is a photobook that wants to be a documentation of the disappearance. An attempt to understand and capture the movement that the disappearance itself means for people, for nature, for the trees, the paths and the animals. For the lake that will soon be emptied of its water and for the horse paddocks that have been demolished. The book begins with a text by freelance curator and writer Lisa Rosendahl. The book is part of our collective work around the Aitik mine, in Sakajärvi outside Gällivare, Sweden. The mine and its surrounding landscape have become a projection surface for us to investigate, understand and illuminate the mineral extraction and its consequences for man and nature. Even though we showed a lot of the work in exhibition form, we felt that there was so much more we wanted to express about the place. With this photo book, we have been able to gather our material about a place that will soon no longer exist.
