The first idea was to follow the way of a plastic bottle. How a bottle and its parts spread all over the world and how “the bottle” is finally making it outer space – as a food box for the astronauts. Involving all the recycling processes in between (which would have make a link to the Turing Machine). | The first idea was to follow the way of a plastic bottle.

Coming back to the astronauts, waste circulation and the outer space - I have made links between astronauts and garbage men and between their missions. This was leading me to another project called “Helden” which was exhibited during the summary 2010 at Bauhaus University. The idea of “Helden” was developed in the course Mnemosyne by the professorship of Mode und öffentliche Erscheinungsbilder. | Coming back to the astronauts, waste circulation and the outer space - I have made links between astronauts and garbage men and between their missions.

In order to visualize the concept of infinity and combine the idea of Romantic, garbage and circulation, I wanted to take a picture of a garbage man in front of a disposal side watching the immenseness of waste. As a result I was calling the local disposal site, asking for possibilities for a photo shooting. Surprisingly I came to know, that since 2005 disposal sites - as we used to know them from the media - are not existing any longer in Germany. New laws and orders achieved, that many disposal sites in Germany got closed down or have slowly renaturalized within a sustainable process. The capital of Thuringia, Erfurt, still has a disposal site, where some of the regional garbage can be found, after an environmentally compatible pre-treatment. | In order to visualize the concept of infinity and combine the idea of Romantic, garbage and circulation, I wanted to take a picture of a garbage man in front of a disposal side watching the immenseness of waste.
