SHIFTING GROUND
Kiruna, Sweden
2014

The town of Kiruna sits above an expansive iron ore reserve. With the intended expansion of mining activities, the town is to be relocated 3 km to the east. The slow process that left residents in limbo for years has been concluded and planning is underway. Within this context, the project will revolve around issues of extreme climate, and the potential of borders, transition, re-construction, waiting, and erasure.
