Synopsis
A former waste-water canal running through a former mining area is transformed into a natural river - a piece of 'naturalized' industrial history: "Who would've thought that we'd move so quickly to a postindustrial world dominated by virtual products and cyber-realities? A world with no use for the physical objects of the recent past, and no place for the makers and consumers of formerly quaint and useful materials. We now live in an age where we must sentimentalize our trash in order to save ourselves from annihilation by way of abstraction." (Mark Elijah Rosenberg, New York)
