Life that Remains by the Great Hole

In the visual essay “There’s a Hole Inside Us,” photographer Ian Cheibub documents the situation in the Serra dos Carajás, in the Brazilian Amazon, where Vale do Rio Doce operates the world’s largest iron mine. After traveling to the area and living with its residents for a year and a half, he produced a body of work that not only records the toxic impact of mining on the landscape and people’s health but also highlights the uniqueness of the local culture and the resistance to the extractive model that has been imposed in the region.
