Industrial facilities that produce energy are often closed, inaccessible and incomprehensible to the public. This project explores how this energy landscape can be made more accessible and easier understandable, in order to create a greater awareness of the connection between energy consumption, energy production and the landscape around us.

The valley has three hydropower plants, that are all collecting power from the river Gloppeelva. When choosing this valley as site, some of the reasons were that it was a place with already human interventions, and the location to be close to roads and city making it a place to be easily visited.
The landscape characteristics are largely formed from the ice age, a story with a big potential to be highlighted.

The city center has a museum visited by a lot of locals and tourists, and a sought high school. The nature nearby are made easily accessable by hiking paths, but the connection from the city to the nature is by car, leaving the valuable cultural landscape in the valley more of an unvisited place. The strategy connects the three power plants while also making it a connector from the city to nature hikes.

To get closer to convey what processes that are taking place at the chosen hydropower plant, I worked with different moods and senses I wanted to take place, by making collages.
