ABOUT DROP

Trash art refers to artworks created using waste materials, such as discarded objects, refuse, or other refuse. It is an environmentally conscious and often politically charged form of expression that challenges traditional art materials and the waste associated with consumer culture. Trash art can take many forms, from sculptures and installations to performances and photography, and can address a wide range of social and environmental issues.

Some famous examples of trash art include the work of artists such as Tim Noble and Sue Webster, who create striking shadows and silhouettes from carefully arranged piles of rubbish, or Chris Jordan, who creates large-scale photographs that visually represent the staggering quantities of waste generated by consumer culture.

Trash art can serve as a powerful tool for raising awareness and inspiring change, as it challenges viewers to consider the impact of their actions on the environment and to rethink their relationship to waste and consumerism.
