The garbage truck is coming*
The project proposes a renewed interest in objects abandoned or discarded by their former owners. By recovering these objects and accepting to consider them, this approach is already part of the prism of care. Looking at these objects reflects the norm of consumer society as it is today: based on the ephemeral use of objects because they can always be replaced. The project proposes to recover these broken and discarded objects (from the street, recycling centers and attics) and to hybridize them in order to give them a new form. This hybridization could make the object useful again, or simply result in a chimera.
* The title of the project is coming from Facebook groups actives in Poland : ‘Śmieciarka jedzie’ (= ‘The garbage truck is coming’) that were created in order to allow others users to adopt and re-own objects before garbage trucks are coming.
