The installation Trash CAN is about the effectiveness of things, here specifically the trash can, to which we often inadvertently refuse our attention. The bin is interwoven with us in a network of power and is representative of a global system everywhere in our urban field of vision. As an entity with authority, it reminds us of order and cleanliness, but also of the fact that used things can be disposed of quickly anytime and anywhere.
The question arises of the interaction of environment and object, to what extent we determine our actions or when an object with its own vitality begins to change its environment. The work with photography, especially analogue photography, also oscillates between visibility and invisibility, has a strong temporal and spatial component due to its complex and physical development processes. Like the trash can, the path of photography, from exposure to perfect printing, is toxic, prone to interference, lengthy, ambivalent.
Analogue photography demands that we give the object the attention it needs for an argument, an attention we seldom pay to casual objects. In addition, photography allows an aesthetic view, which is rarely attributed to the object.
