Fallet Som Tystnade / Waterfall That Went SIlent 
Year:
2023

Fallet Som Tystnade (Waterfall That Went Silent) is a temporary sound installation and place for reflection that aims to remind us of the roar of the waterfall at Stora Sjöfallet/Stuormuorkkegårttje which is said to have been heard all the way from Saltoluokta and disappeared together with large amount of reindeer herding lands after Sweden started hydropower developments in the valley at the beginning of the 20th century.

The installation reflects on human drive for technological progress and the need for resources and energy over natural and cultural environment. And the values that are lost in this process. All of this in relation to indigenous people who have lived in this place for more than 7000 years and still counting.
