Mountains of Ore

'Mountains of Ore', commissioned by Karin Reisinger, is a digital documentation that reflects the findings of her doctoral research.

This project takes base on the following fact: "an increasing number of zones are being subjected to extractive and destructive changes, to the point that they will barely be inhabitable by humans for a long time after." Reisinger research focuses on two mountains of ore extraction, one in Sámi / North Sweden, Malmberget, and one in Austria, Erzberg.

The digital platform, translated in 3 different languages, is a merge of Reisinger's findings and a close look at the people and places around these mountains. Here it can be found interviews, photographic documentation, news and further reading.
