An essay using philosophical and poetic language to describe the process of the Henriksberg industrial area, about to be demolished in Stockholm. When buying or establishing a home. What are we looking for? A place to live, eat and sleep? In a mine you dig for metals or minerals underneath the surface of the earth, when extracted they will later be refined into products. Moving from the ground to the surface, translating meaning and purpose. In a city we have invisible powers, refining value from land. An alchemical process is activated in city planning, using buildings and its inhabitants to create value as a commodity, establishing the home as an object of desire.
