EARTH was filmed at seven locations completely transformed by humans: mountains being moved in California; a tunnel being sliced through rock at the Brenner Pass; an open-cast mine in Hungary; a marble quarry in Italy; a copper mine in Spain; the salt mine used to store radioactive waste in Wolfenbüttel; a tar sands landscape in Canada. Initially shown from above as abstract paintings, the terrain is then explored on the ground: The film weaves together footage of machines in operation and conversations with workers.
