waste landscape








artist elise morin & architect clémence eliard of design studio SML (small medium large) in collaboration with 104.fr have collected, sorted & hand sewn 65,000 cds & turned them into rolling hills of shiny aluminum in the centquatre at the halle d'aubervilliers in paris.
the artists explain, "the project joins a global, innovative & committed approach, from its means of production until the end of its 'life'. waste landscape will be displayed in locations coherent with the objectives of the project: art's role in society, raising consciousness towards environmental problems through culture, alternative modes of production & the valuation of district associate work & professional rehabilitation...waste landscape is at the crossroad of contemporary art, landscaping & environmental concerns.
the installation has a life cycle in which it will be exhibited in multiple spaces, built into different formations in each one. as time goes on the cds will be recycled into polycarbonate, the final step on the artists' part to convey the concept of "waste" & transformation.
waste landscape will be at the halle d'aubervilliers in paris until 10 september, 2011.
