Matter of Mind (2019)

Original title: “Nueva Mente

A universal story showing the circuit of garbage processing, from production to consumption. With its containers, packaging and wrappings: bulk that is discarded as soon as it’s bought. The waste.

A journey through the metropolis until its final disposal. Throughout that trajectory, there are people, pollutants, margins and more. We notice garbage when it can be smelled. Is that why we try to get it as far away as possible from our homes? Is that why we bury it, burn it or toss it into the sea? What solutions could we come up with? It’s time to commit to reducing, recycling and reusing, seeing the value in used materials as potential sources of wealth that could create honest work for urban recyclers, the true environmental defenders of our society.
