Waste Land Brazil, UK 2010 – 99min.
Short description
For two years, the artist Vik Muniz photographed people who live from separating garbage, with the idea of turning their work into a crazy project: transforming refuse into art and thereby money. In Jardim Gramacho, the largest dump in the world on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, 3000 people recycle 200 tons of stinking garbage every day. Paper, plastic, glass, metal: they collect everything that pays. Sometimes they find treasure (books like Machiavelli's The Prince), sometimes they find bodies. How can art change their lives?
