Garzweiler II Surface Mine, Germany, 2019
From: £250.00
A collaboration between Alan Gignoux and Chloe Juno, Monuments documents the communities in North-Rhine Westphalia earmarked for demolition to make way for surface coal mining.
This image shows a section of the Garzweiler II mine. Garzweiler I and Garzweiler II are surface mines used for extracting lignite or brown coal, the dirtiest form of coal. Together they have claimed 114km2 of land in North-Rhine Westphalia, an area around the size of San Francisco, causing the destruction of homes and communities and the displacement of around 40,000 people.
