Location

Chemnitz, Hot Super

entrance free

At the edge of the village, a gravel path leads through the fields to a fence. The path is marked on the map of the former uranium mining areas in Saxony and Thuringia. Wismut AG mined uranium on a large scale in both federal states and delivered it to Russia as "yellow cake". The film SONNE UNTER TAGE follows this trail through the landscapes still shaped by mining today. Deep drillings through space and time trace the stories that surround the element uranium materially, metaphorically and geopolitically: How does it haunt the landscape? What narratives surround its mining sites? How can the invisible be made visible - can the radiation be visualised, made audible and tangible?
