The mines are drowned and the slag heaps are melting. What was meant to remain buried rumbles beneath our feet, populating our imaginations. What remains of its ghosts, its entrails where so many have remained? If were to descend again, drain the millions of liters of water that populate this rough, dark labyrinth, what would welcome us? What relic lurks at the bottom of the well? Present, synthetic and imaginary images, charged with memory, archives and stories. A sensory search, under the deafening blows of hammer drills, in these places emptied of all presence, where we can no longer set foot or look.
