Hebig talks about the challenge of annotating and presenting "gigabytes of photos" along with other media relating to the torn down steel mills and industrial plants in Dortmund.
Industrial Night and Magic, where headed?:It is a dance with death, a race against excavators and explosives. It happened more than once that I explored a building, planned to return to take photos two days later - and then found nothing but debris. The more I grew acquainted with the plants, the more the focus of my work shifted from taking photos just because I like to take photos to documenting the plants, their machinery and their end.
