The extractive industries leave a particular kind of mark. Shadows of Industry moves through mining towns, open-cut sites, and processing landscapes across rural Australia — places shaped almost entirely by the logic of resource extraction, and now living with the aftermath of that logic as reserves thin and demand shifts.
Some of these places are still active. Others are in slow decline. A few have been formally rehabilitated, the land returned to a surface that bears little resemblance to what was there before. The series holds all three states together, refusing a simple narrative of destruction or recovery.
