french photographer Céline Clanet has been traveling regularly to the city of Máze – on the Norwegian side of Sápmi – since 2005, capturing the quiet, melancholic, proud Sámi there. After having escaped being flooded by the waters of a planned hydroelectric dam in the 1970s, the Sámi people, houses, land and reindeer continue to fight global warming and cultural integration.
‘An ambivalent symbol of resistance and helplessness’, in her own words.
