Series description

#365, Unpacked’ is the result of a four year project during which the photographer stopped throwing away his recyclable waste and collected it instead, making visible the hard-to-visualise 365kg of waste that we each produce in a year. Beyond the graphic dimension, the accumulation of waste accentuates the gap between the human and his environment, making us consider ecology and our way of consuming. ‘#365, Unpacked’ reminds us that the best waste is the waste that we, as humans don’t produce.
