Tom Hegen: The Mineral Age

By: Hegen, Tom

Surveying the planet's shift from fossil fuel to new metal mining, Hegen reflects on the ecological and social costs of the energy transition

Through sweeping aerial photography, Tom Hegen (born 1991) takes viewers into the heart of the mines and plants extracting and refining raw materials--copper, nickel, lithium, cobalt and rare earth metals--that are necessary for an electrified (if still costly) future.
