It looks at how people drained wetlands, built infrastructure on them and turned carbon-rich soils into sources of emissions. At the same time, it reflects on how these damaged landscapes are now being cared for again. As nature and technology, city and wetland become more connected, the film asks what can still grow in places that are no longer untouched, but not yet lost.
Shifting Grounds is part of the production Neuland and acts as the starting point for the live performance.
