An iconic landmark for garbage

Wasteland
Brief

In 2050, 70% of the world population will live in a city. Together, these people produce an enormous amount of waste, which a lot of metropolises are already unable to process. Photojournalist Kadir van Lohuizen documented the main waste streams in five metropolises: Tokyo, New York, Jakarta, São Paolo, Lagos and Amsterdam.

Approach

In collaboration with Kadir van Lohuizen and Pakhuis de Zwijger, we designed and developed a modular traveling exhibition as an intervention in public space, creating a portable landmark to address this global and urgent issue. The photography was shown in and on large containers, providing an impressive insight in the consequences of our consumer behavior, waste management in cities and the economic impact of this industry.

The installation premiered at the Amsterdam based festival ‘We Make the City’ in June 2018.

"The Dutch alone throw away more than 400,000 loaves of bread per day."
