Kuujjuaq is an isolated Northern village in Quebec. Accessible only by plane, this isolated place has the largest open-air landfill in northern Quebec: 82,700m3 of polluting waste. An exception in Canadian law authorizes the burning of certain waste, with the resulting health and ecological consequences. France electro artist, CØLIBRI, has made a soundscape to accompany the mini-documentary about the Kuujjuaq landfill and it is breathtaking. Feeling a bit like a lo-fi hip-hop beat at times that morphs into a powerful and orchestral beat, “Kuujjuaq” is worth every second of listening. The video is also gorgeous, featuring bird’s eye view drone footage and topographic shots of the landscape. Watch below.
