Thatching is an old craft and a profession that is threatened by current socio-economic conditions. Matt\u0026#39;s way of life is at odds with today\u0026#39;s super-fast and virtual world. In his world, knowledge is acquired through action and words are sparingly spoken. Traditions and rituals are not in the service of capital or ideology, but of life itself.

Rietdekken is een oud ambacht en een beroep dat bedreigd wordt door de huidige socio-economische omstandigheden. De manier van leven van Matt staat haaks op de razendsnelle en virtuele wereld van vandaag. In zijn wereld wordt kennis verworven door te handelen en worden woorden spaarzaam uitgesproken. Tradities en rituelen staan er niet in dienst van kapitaal of ideologie, maar van het leven zelf.

Couvrir de chaume des toits est un m\u0026eacute;tier ancien, que les conditions socio-\u0026eacute;conomiques actuelles menacent de disparition.
