Film -

A portrait of work in the landscape of the world’s largest salt mine in México. A reflection on how images can describe the reality of the body at work and the three-dimensional nature of raw material through the viewpoint of a one-eyed dog.

In the north of México, in the world´s biggest salt mine, the landscape is shaped by the labor of workers and machines. Full of noises, it does not affirm the world as an image. And maybe it’s not. If it’s sustained by miners, it’s also by raw material. What gains volume as matter, loses weight as an image.
