Summary/Abstract: The article reconstructs the modern understanding of a landscape intensely transformedby the mining industry. Its methodological inspiration comes from non-representationaltheories, which emphasize such factors as embodied experience, senses, and affects,treating landscape as something more than a visual representation. The author analyzesdocumentaries, photographs, and reportages. They allow her to highlight the complexityand multidirectionality of landscape transformation processes in the Anthropocene,especially the interdependencies between geology and atmosphere, exploitation andits material effects and affects. They indicate the non-obvious ontology of the landscapeafter transformation, which is simultaneously post-natural and post-human.
