The project accumulates practices of contemporary urban archaeology focused on discarded, unnecessary material—what serves as a shell and simultaneously can be a cover or shelter. Through the study of the characteristics and form of this material, new applications are found by creating sculptures from it.
The practice of researcher-collectors becomes a way of understanding the city and its peripheries. Objects found in landfills and repurposed into sculpture material take on new meaning and status. Thus, the same volume of plastic can be a sculpture in an exhibition or a mayonnaise jar in the refrigerator, repeatedly raising the question: what do we need today?"
