What happens in the spaces between place and person? Between places and human history? And the place and its memory? My hometown Kiruna is going to be razed and relocated. The old company town Bolagsområdet, where I grew up, will collapse down into the underground because the bedrock is breaking below, from a century of ore mining.
In 2015, I filmed the Ullspiran area while it was being razed, documenting the last family moving out. Inside their apartment, I found traces of lives lived there. When we know we have to move, when faced with the fact, we abandon our sense of belonging. We gradually accept reality and the dust collected in the corners lose their significance.
