Vi befinner oss utanför Sveriges största koppardagbrott, Aitik. Sedan 2016 ses vi varje sommar i Katarinas och Lars Åkes lilla stuga ovanför Sakajärvi sjö och byaväg. Härifrån följer vi gruvans expansion och de omkringliggande byarnas avveckling.
Med platsen som utgångspunkt försöker vi förstå landskapets oändliga skönhet och industrins enorma storlek. Är det ljudet, dammet eller staketet runt slamdammen som utgör gränsen mellan naturen och gruvan?
(…)
En plats försvinnande vill vara en dokumentation över själva försvinnandet. Ett försök att förstå och fånga den rörelse som själva försvinnandet innebär för människorna, för naturen, för träden, stigarna och djuren. För sjön som snart ska tömmas på sitt vatten och för hästhagarna som rivits bort.

We are outside Aitik, Sweden’s biggest open-pit copper mine. Since 2016 we have been meeting every summer in Katarina and Lars Åke’s little cottage above Lake Sakajärvi and the village road. From here we follow the expansion of the mine and the dismantling of the surrounding villages.
With this spot as our base we try to grasp the eternal beauty of the landscape and the immensity of the industry. Is it the sound, the dust or the fence around the slurry pond that marks the boundary between nature and the mine?
(…)
A Place Disappearance aims to be documentation of the very disappearance – and to understand and capture the movement that disappearance means to people, to nature, to the trees, the paths and the animals; to the lake that will soon be emptied of its water, and to the meadows soon to be wiped out.
