Pyramiden – A Ghost Town Frozen in Time – Limited Edition Art Photography
Pyramiden, a once-thriving Soviet coal mining town on the remote Norwegian island of Svalbard, tells a story of ambition, decline, and haunting abandonment. In 1910, the Swedes established this town to house workers from a nearby mine. Named after the mountain’s pyramid-like shape, Pyramiden stood as a testament to human industry. In 1926, the town and its mine were sold to the Soviet Union, sparking a new chapter in its history.

However, with falling coal prices, mounting costs, and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the town’s fate was sealed. A tragic plane crash in 1996, which claimed the lives of coal miners, marked the beginning of the end. By 1998, Pyramiden was abandoned, and since then, the city has remained a frozen relic of the past, untouched by time but slowly succumbing to the elements.

Today, the future of Pyramiden remains uncertain, with access further limited due to international sanctions on Russia. Yet, through the lens of my camera, these abandoned streets and forgotten buildings live on.

But who is she? The model in this series is a representation of the silent stories left behind in this lost world. Her presence in these desolate places invites reflection on the people who once lived and worked here, now only existing in memory and through these powerful photographs.
