‘The Waterfall that Went Silent’ is a temporary sound installation and place for reflection located in the UNESCO World Heritage site Laponia. The installation seeks to remind visitors of the roar of the waterfall Stora Sjöfallet/Stuormuorkkegårttje (part of Lule River) which nearly disappeared together with a 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 the human drive for technological progress and the need for resources and energy over the natural and cultural environment. And the values that are lost in this process.
