Anna Bergold: Terra Salis
About The Book
Terra Salis is a photographic exploration of the complex issue of potash mining in Heringen an der Werra, located in eastern Hesse. The focus extends beyond the external scale of Germany’s largest salt heap to also examine the transformative processes affecting the surrounding landscape and the environmental impacts of industrial activity on natural habitats. Central questions are raised about the human construction of landscapes and nature, and the legitimacy of our interventions in these spaces. Publisher’s Info
