Viktor Brim – the dark goes much further than how it appears – Germany

In the work we follow the materiality, the flow states, the texture and the forms of the Mansfeld copper slag. The slag was scanned and reanimated on the dumps using photogrammetry. The work is concerned about the very life and persistence of the slag, on the one hand as future valuable material, on the other hand as a new form of chemical waste, which remains for many centuries and inscribes itself ever more deeply into the Earth’s crust.
