Artefacts of Accumulation voyages into the depths of the transformation process of discarded matter. The short documentary gazes at the operations that domestic and industrial waste undertake in the process of being recycled and deposited. Immersing in the technologies that define the procedures of dealing with refuse, the film reveals the architectures that orbit the worlds our waste creates.
