GMU:Space Is The Place/projects/Der Müllmann: Difference between revisions

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.

I was researching about the disposal site Erfurt-Schwerborn on the internet and found a media report on [http://www.3sat.de/page/?source=/nano/cstuecke/139757/index.html '''3sat'''], where I could get a first impression of the scenery: The environment with its sheep and its landscape.
