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 [[MODEN:INVENTORY & DISPLAY: MNEMOSYNE/arbeiten|'''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 | 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.
