Canari, Corsica
These photographs were taken in the former asbestos mine of Canari, in Cap Corse. Its exploitation once supplied up to half of France's industrial asbestos needs.
In return, millions of tons of waste from the site were dumped into the sea for over twenty years.
The bite of the golden sun questions our relationship with ruin, and its journey invites the viewer to observe how the terrible and fatal beauty of a territory can emanate from its wounds.
