Abstract

This chapter explores how the photographic works of Louis Helbig’s Beautiful Destruction (2014) and Nikel Materiality (2015) by Tatjana Gorbachewskaja and Katya Larina map the disturbed ecologies in the far North of Canada and Northern Europe as evidence of the Anthropocene. The two case studies are located in the boreal region of Canada and Northern Europe which are placed in the broader geo-political context of the North
