Lisa Truttmann’s imaginative and strangely charming documentary collects scenic shots of the tarpaulin landscape of the city, as she speaks to experts on pest control and urban entomology about this growing chaos of termite infestation – where in some areas 80% of structures are taken over by termites.
An experimentation on the visual depths of cinema and a story of
fascinating insight, Tarpaulins is a perfect example of documentary as
art.
