In 2020, car manufacturer Tesla began building a 'Gigafactory' in the Freienbrink district of Grünheide, a municipality in Brandenburg just outside Berlin. The first vehicles were produced there in early 2022.
GIGALAND documents the construction phase of one of Germany's largest electric car factories. It captures the transformative processes of a landscape through an industrial plant that was established despite numerous environmental concerns related to land use, deforestation and water consumption.
