(DA) Støv finder vej overalt og lægger sig på hver en overflade. Det overføres til luften via skorstene og trænger ind i hver en regndråbe. Det bekæmpes og ryddes væk som i en uendelig livsopgave. I denne dokumentarfilm undersøger Hartmut Bitomsky støvets mange former, og forfølger støvets vej til de steder, hvor den møder det mennesker, der kæmper mod det: rengøringsmænd og -kvinder, støvsugerproducenter, husmødre og museumsmedarbejdere. Vi følger botanikere, kunsterne, biologer, filosofier, meteorologer og astronomer, som alle arbejder med forskellige miljø- og sundhedsmæssige konsekvenser af støv. Ved nøje at undersøge et emne, der omgiver os i vores daglige liv, men som vi sjældent er seriøst opmærksomme på, giver Dust os en ny forståelse af de mange måder, hvorpå støv påvirker kroppen, miljøet og kloden.
Filmen introduceres af den finske medieteoretiker og kurator Jussi Parikka, der vil fremlægge hans forskning i relationen mellem støv, medier og arkitektur. Arrangementet er en del af programmet Trivial Matters, der undersøger arkitektoniske materialers æstetik, politik og metafysik. Læs mere om programmet på Cafx.dk.
