An Artist’s Log of Three Years of Street Trash
August 13, 2008 · Print This Article
From May 5th, 2002 to May 4th, 2005, artist Nico Van Hoorn took a daily 30-minute walk looking for the perfect piece of trash in the street. It could be paper, plastic or metal but it had to be smaller than 10×15cm and as flat as possible. The trash was scanned daily, and what results is a series of portraits of trash that really make you think, was this little item – whatever it was, whatever it was used for – worth littering the streets for?
