Résumé

Matter Out of Place est un film sur les déchets dans les zones reculées et sur les gens qui essaient de nettoyer. Matter Out of Place saisit la dissémination des ordures et observe les éboueurs et les gestionnaires des déchets au travail, tels des Sisyphe, à travers le monde.

"Les déchets sont un symbole de la manière dont l’humanité évolue, mais beaucoup plus lentement que ne l’exigerait le progrès technologique. Nous ne sommes pas encore capables de gérer de nombreuses choses qui aujourd’hui sont possible et quotidiennes."
(Nikolaus Geyrhalter)

Matter Out of Place is a film about our garbage that is found in the most remote areas and about the people who are trying to clean up.
Matter Out of Place takes stock of the spread of man-made garbage into the remotest places on our planet and follows the desperate efforts to overcome the problem.
Not only in the sea and on coasts, also in the Arctic, the jungle, high up on the mountains and deep inside the desert, garbage is found almost everywhere in various forms and dimensions, sometimes as whole car wrecks, old TV sets or simply construction rubble, but mostly in the form of disintegrated plastic particles a few millimetres in size. Humanity has handed out its visiting cards thoroughly.

"Waste is a symbol of how mankind is developing, namely much more slowly than technologial progress would demand. We cannot yet deal with much of what is possible and commonplace today."
(Nikolaus Geyrhalter)
