The two-screen film installation ‘While the Pile of Rubble Grows Towards the Sky’ takes the audience on an underground journey through the corridors of the Cannerberg, a former limestone mine in Southern Limburg, The Netherlands. Two characters, guided by atmospheric sounds and drone music, explore the dark past of this hidden space. Block breakers during the Industrial Revolution, the Nazi occupation during the Second World War, and a NATO headquarters for war operations during the Cold War; the two encounter troublesome yet exemplary histories of human activities. While one of them sticks to the facts, the other mirrors what they meet with current times. Together they arrive at a quiet, unexpected presence, bringing a stark contrast to everything seen before.
