Trashlog
Trash,  garbage, refuse -- no matter what you call it, the stuff stinks. We come in contact with junk every day, though most of us do our level best to avoid it. Instead of avoiding the issue, enterprising photographer Nico van Hoorn has made it his civic duty to find a piece of trash every day and snap a photo of the discarded remains. The result is a fascinating dig through the seemingly endless garbage can of daily living. Many of the found objects are mundane, but through the process of photography and cataloging, van Hoorn transforms them into small works of art. Part of the fun is identifying an item's original use -- some are maddeningly obscure, while others are painfully obvious. Roll up your sleeves and rummage through this blog twist on trash -- you never know what you'll find. (in Blogs) |
