arrojalatierra explores the relationship between art and work in one of the most tactile crafts.
The hands meet the clay: they crush it, they model it, transferring the weight and strength of the body to a creation in process. Not only hands: there are also feet, legs and arms, anonymous members of a collective creation, of a work in constant transformation.

arrojalatierra guides us through a common process in pottery: the hammering, the reduction of the discarded pottery to powder, the hydration and its reuse. With a poetic glossary of images, the film links craftsmanship with nature and its cycles. What rots, what is destroyed, can also be transformed.

If the heart is the muscle that never rests, the hands are no better: they are the workers of the body. The material is present both in front of the camera and inside it. In front of us, ceramics are mixed, molded and sculpted collectively. Inside, the celluloid captures the light of the surrounding world, recording the gesture, texture and memory of the ever-changing material.
