Kiruna – Rymdvägen

My Kiruna is going to be torn down and levelled to the ground.

The town Kiruna is to be moved. The mining activities underground threaten it’s foundation. Houses will be moved, or torn down, and new quarters will be built on another site. The director grew up on the Company Site and is in a hurry to catch up with her past, for soon it’s physical reminders will be gone.

Director’s Comment

When I first heard that the town Kiruna will be moved I got scared. When I understood that my old quarters would be the first to go, I panicked. What will happen to my memories? What memories? What do I really recall? Will I loose the opportunity to remember the things I may have forgotten?
