This artis­tic pro­ject looks into trans­for­ma­ti­ons and defor­ma­ti­ons of land­scapes as con­se­quen­ces of the extra­c­tion and uti­liza­ti­on of raw materials.

Documentary-inves­ti­ga­ti­ve and sci­en­ti­fic approa­ches are used along­side with approa­ches that are inspi­red by visu­al and acou­stic impres­si­ons or by chan­ges in land­scape and city­scape. Spatiality and struc­tures as well as the mate­ria­li­ty of the extra­c­ted raw mate­ri­als and the cycles in which they flow offer oppor­tu­ni­ties for artis­tic engagement.

This “dig­ging through” the the­ma­tic field brings forth new con­texts and asso­cia­ti­ons. Against the back­drop of the Leipzig regi­on and its histo­ry of mining, indus­try and trans­for­ma­ti­on, we have invi­ted artists to pre­sent their expe­ri­en­ces with the topic and the results of their rese­arch in an exhi­bi­ti­on, thus put­ting them up for discussion.
