Wasteland - de berg en de kuil
Wasteland - The Hill and the Pit
This double portrait brings together two places violated by man : the slag heap of a former coal mine in the Borinage region of Belgium and the quarry of a lignite mine in the Cologne region. In The Hill we look around the deserted and derelict "La Marcasse" mine in Belgium. We meet several people who are trying to survive among the scars of time. In The Pit, we find ourselves at Tagebau Hambach in the German province of Nordrhein-Westfalen. In stark constrast with "La Marcasse", work is still in full swing here. In this dislocated landscape, all proportions have been lost and human size is the only measure. The damage done seems limited. New nature is on its way. Millions of trees have been planted, recreational lakes and fields will have wiped out all traces of mining in 60 years time. As if all this work, this present, had never been.
