There are places that we don’t want to know anything about, places that we would rather think did not exist at all. One such place is a dumpsite. From a human point of view, it is a ghastly place, a stinking desert of trash. But that desert is teaming with life. An astounding profusion of insects, reptiles, birds and mammals, are interwoven in an existential life-death relationship that imparts a strangely alluring dream-like quality. | Pakalnina, Laila Laila Pakalnina (born 1962, Liepaja)
She graduated from the Department of TV Journalism of Moscow University in 1986, and from the Moscow Film Institute (VGIK) as a film director in 1991.
