Rawa is a river measuring just under 20 km that flows through the highly urbanized area of the Upper Silesian conurbation. This region, located in southern Poland, deeply entrenched in industrial activities since the Industrial Revolution, has undergone a profound transformation, with coal mining playing a pivotal role in shaping its distinctive landscape. Unlike conventional definitions of rivers as natural entities, Rawa stands as a „monument of the Anthropocene”, a testament to human influence, having undergone extensive sculpting and engineering manipulation. Perceived as a hyperobject, it represents a web of interactions between human and non-human actors in a perpetual state of collaboration. The industrial activity, for which Rawa became a water resource, led to the disappearance of natural sources of the river and its catastrophic pollution. As early as the end of the 19th century, the complete extinction of fish in the river was observed, signaling the environmental repercussions of human activities and an ecological imbalance.Today, the river's flow relies heavily on rainwater and a mixture of municipal and industrial sewage. The 20th-century intensive regulation of Rawa's riverbed culminated in the encasement of the river within concrete channels, subterranean canals, and pipelines, rendering the waterway largely imperceptible in both the tangible landscape and social consciousness of the local populace. This transformation elicits a complex mix of emotions, stirring sentiments of shame and nostalgia among the region's inhabitants. The project constitutes a visual case study of an industrial river. The research material focuses on attempting a holistic understanding of the interaction between the river and the surrounding landscape through artistic field studies, which, also through the act of walking, involve direct, physical engagement with the landscape.
