Back in 2011, photographer Antoine Repessé quit discarding his recyclable garbage making a point. Four years later he began transforming that factor into an effective photo series he called ‘# 365 Unpacked’, which tests us to rethink our role as customers.
During the 4 year duration, the Lille-based artist has actually built up over 70 cubic metres of garbage: 1,600 milk bottles, 4,800 commode rolls, as well as 800 kg (~ 1,750 lb) of newspapers, every one of which he after that divided for an even stronger visual influence: “I wished to offer a visual measurement to my work,” he clarifies. “The choice of arranging the trash offers a visuals impact. I attempted to produce a best picture which evokes something troubling.”
With his collection, Antoine deals with the major obstacle for kickstarting the big changes in waste administration or international warming– it’s how unseen these problems are in our daily lives: “We’re often outlined the amount of waste we create, however I think the impact of an image can be more effective compared to a ton of words,” remarks Repessé. “I wish my job can influence change,” – and so do we.
