Materials: portion of recyclable materials
An artistic manifesto that encourages alternative recycling and provides the opportunity to gather a portion of recyclable materials - plastic caps; waste - encountered daily, woven into the fabric of the mundane, but that we could do without.
This exacerbated consumerism should realistically prompt us to ask questions or, at the very least, to be on guard, to place us in a situation where each individual's contribution becomes a commitment to the greater good (a utopian artistic vision of everyone's involvement in the reuse and recycling of materials).
Collecting plastic caps can be an activity that protects the environment. And by redistributing them to non-profit organizations that assist people with motor disabilities.
The attempt to bring the general consumer and contemporary art consumer closer to the idea of recycling, by facilitating recycling methods right in the proximity of homes or workplaces, disguised on the streets as an (artistic) interactive installation.
