A normal person, living in a large urban center, for seven days he did not take out the trash. All of his detritus was stored in a special garment made of transparent plastic.
During this experience, he went on with his regular routine, but he developed a new relationship with the garbage and created a visual and poetic communication that had an impact on the other inhabitants of the city.
The leftovers, previously forgotten with an automatic movement into the trashcans, became a part of his body. Step by step, the garbage revealed his habits and his material choices, in other words, his place in society.
With the daily "reflux" of his intermittent consumption, it was no longer possible to forget the volume, the shape, the odors and, most of all, the weight of the trash that he himself had accumulated over seven days. Within time, the man became what he had consumed.
All that happens to the Earth happens to the children of the Earth" (Seattle chief)
