The origin of the word "Terril" is quite mysterious and divides historians.
Its sonic force represents the extracted, raised earth.
Like blocks of memory, their silhouettes punctuate the landscape of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais mining basin.
An artist sensitive to geographical and industrial transformations,
In 2009, Naoya Hatakeyama traveled these vast spaces at the edge of the sky. A photographer of precision, he takes us on a stunning journey through the black mountains. Following him, he draws us in, through his mastery of lighting and framing, into his profound images that evoke other worlds: Canada, Iceland, the Camargue... The slag heap, often ignored or bypassed, takes center stage in the landscapes captured by Naoya Hatakeyama. Standing on the flat land, it acts as a call, an imaginary surge.
