“Une fois la poussière retombée (Once the Dust Has Settled)”
In Quebec, residents of the former town of Asbestos find their stories cast in shadow by the feared resource that shaped its landscape.
A powerful reminder of impermanence, my aim was to document a disappearing culture, carving the fleeting voices of Asbestos’ residents into moving images. Is it possible to appreciate the experience of a community whose entire history was devoted to the exploitation of a now feared and despised natural resource?
