Junkyard transforms car graveyards into contemporary archaeological sites. These heaps of rusted sheet metal become the fossils of a civilization obsessed with oil and rare metals. Each wreck tells the story of our dependence on finite resources, turning what was once a symbol of freedom into a monument to our ecological crisis.
The film explores these post-industrial landscapes where the boundary between object and waste blurs. Through close-ups of charred engines and aerial views of these metallic necropolises, it reveals the absurdity of a system that produces as much as it destroys. These remains become the artifacts of a bygone era, posing a crucial question: what will be left of us when the resources have disappeared?
Between the poetry of decline and ecological urgency, Junkyard offers a visual meditation on the Anthropocene, transforming waste into a mirror of our excesses.
The work of Felix Luque Sánchez, in collaboration with Damien Gernay, Vincent Evrard, and Iñigo Bilbao, explores how humans perceive their relationship with technology and develops a reflection on current topics such as the development of artificial intelligence and automation.
