Today, I am releasing the second part of THE GOLD MINING SERIES and in a completely new approach! Last year, I travelled to Borneo to document the effects of illegal gold mining on the environment of this fragile ecosystem. For that project, I used color infrared photography to capture an extended range of wavelengths that clearly separates vegetation from other elements. In that way, the images reveal the impact of the mining operations in contrast to natural elements.

Do you see the miners separating gold from mud and looking up to the sky? Images # 1, 2, and 3 are the same image but have different zoom factors. This is what high resolution infrared photography enables. These gold mining operations are illegal and have significant impacts on the rainforests and wildlife of Borneo. From The Gold Mining Series IR, Borneo, 2023.

Rainforests and rivers of Borneo are turning into devastated landscapes by illegal gold mining. As cultivating their fields became unprofitable in the last few years, farmers turned their businesses into small-scale mining in search of gold. Men, women and children work in the mines, trying to make a living. Their methods are low-tech, and working in the mines is hard and dangerous. They use basic floating platforms and follow rivers deep into the forest, searching for gold on the river banks. These rafts serve as a mobile basis from which sediments on the riverbed are filtered by the same method of using sluices, carpets and gravity. The waste material, known as tailings, is disposed of back into the river. The color infrared photography captures an extended range of wavelengths and separates vegetation from other elements. In that way, the series reveals altered landscapes in contrast to natural elements.

Yesterday, @arte.tv visited my studio in Germany to learn more about my photographs of salt evaporation ponds. Lovely team, great conversations and cool captures. We talked about the efforts and beauty of salt production, about aerial photography, and how it can help us get a better relationship with the resources we consume, and we discussed some new projects. The episode will go live in a couple of weeks.
