- Synopsis
- Humans move billions of tons of earth every year, with shovels, bulldozers or dynamite. Nikolaus Geyrhalter observes people in mines, quarries and large construction sites, in a constant struggle to appropriate the planet. A portrait of the Earth in the Anthropocene: in seven places that humans have transformed on a grand scale: entire mountains moved in California, a tunnel cut through rock in the Brenner Pass, an open-pit mine in Hungary, a marble quarry in Italy, a copper mine in Spain, the salt mine used to store radioactive waste in Wolfenbüttel, and an oil sands landscape in Canada.
