DEMOLITION PRECIOUS EARTH
An experimental documentary looking more closely at the materials heaped up on a building site after a demolition. Materials taken for granted in the buildings around us and removed from their natural origin. Capturing local demolitions, the piles of waste, and the extraction of the natural resources from around the world. Referencing the minerals in the Natural History Museum or the quarry, the mine that the raw materials or the objects seen on the rubble pile are made from.
