Daniel Chatard – Niemandsland
Niemandsland investigates the impact of brown coal extraction in Germany’s Rhineland, where some of Europe’s largest open-cast lignite mines have dramatically altered the landscape and contributed heavily to CO2 emissions. These mines have displaced entire villages, causing a sense of powerlessness among residents who grew up knowing that their homes would one day be destroyed. In 2012, environmental activists occupied Hambach Forest. Despite some success in preserving parts of the forest and five villages, a sixth village, Lützerath, was demolished. By engaging with the affected communities, Daniel Chatard (DE) shows the emotional and physical toll of the mining operations. A reminder of the costs of energy production and the enduring human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
222 pages, 24 x 32 cm, hardcover, The Eriskay Connection (Breda).
