Sugar Heritage (The Netherlands)
Having photographed the remnants of Suriname’s sugar industry, the Argentine photographer Alejandro Chaskielberg arrived in Holland to pursue a similar goal. The Netherlands used to have dozens of factories. Only two factories remain after decades of remediation and a more liberal approach in European agricultural regulations from 2006 onwards. Chaskielberg visited five plants in different stages of the factories’ life cycle: from active and productive to abandoned and stripped of everything of value.
