Conversation with the Earth under extractivism


Film, 2025




Details
The movie features fieldwork footage from mineral extraction and exploration sites in Finland (Utsjoki, Viankiaappa, Outokumpu, and Sodankylä). The footage was recorded between 2024 and 2025, and the movie was completed in 2025. The movie's primary focus is the techno-biophysical transformations brought about by large-scale mining.

Edited as a two-channel video, the movie invites to investigate dualities between creation, destruction, and beauty, which are inherently embedded in mining operations.
Location: Utsjoki, Viankiaappa, Outokumpu, 
and Sodankylä; Finland

Duration: 4:21 minutes 

Collaborator: Natalia Batrakova
