TONSPUREN

Whilst the local artistic ceramic craft continues to remain widely visible, traces of Kandern’s industry are in the process of disappearing: The demolition of the clay works in 2007 left behind a huge wasteland at the entrance to the town; at the end of 2020, the fireclay factory on the Hintere Mühle site ended its production, marking the final transition of Kandern’s clay industry into the town’s history. In a series of 20 photographs, I document the architecture, remnants, and atmosphere of the Hintere Mühle area, a place with as much potential as it holds unanswered questions about its conversion and further use by the city, culture and local businesses.
