*리싸이클링 랜드스케이프 [ Elise Morin and Clémence Eliard ] Waste Landscape

대형광장안에 새롭게 설치된 랜드스케이프는
파도의 웨이브처럼 은색으로 된 작은 둔덕을 만든다.

LP와 TAPE가 그랬듯이 CD 또한 저장매체의
기술이 발전함에 따라 우리생활 속에서
점점 불필요한 요소가 되어 사라지고 있다.

6만여개의 CD의 발광면을 이용한 기념비적인
설치물은 우리가 사용하는 생활제품의 수명
(제품사용시간이 아닌 제품활용수명)에
대하여 심도 있는 질문을 던진다.
사회적 쓰레기로 전락 할 것인지, 아니면 재활용되어
제 값어치를 할 수 있을지...

Elise Morin and Clémence Eliard have created the Wastelandscape installation at the CENTQUATRE in Paris, France.

“Waste Landscape” is a 600 square meters artificial undulating landscape covered by an armor of 60 000 unsold or collected CDs, which have been sorted and hand-sewn.

It is well known that CDs are condemned to gradually disappear from our daily life, and to later participate in the construction of immense open-air, floating or buried toxic waste reception centers.

Made of petroleum, this reflecting slick of CDs forms a still sea of metallic dunes: the monumental scale of the art work reveals the precious aspect of a small daily object.

The project joins a global, innovative and committed approach, from its means of production until the end of its “life”.

“WasteLandscape” will be displayed in locations coherent with the stakes of the project: the role of art in society, the sensitization to environmental problems through culture, the alternative mode of production and the valuation of district associative work and professional rehabilitation.

Over the course of multiple exhibitions, “WasteLandscape” will go through quite a few transformations before being entirely recycled into polycarbonate. The roaming will allow both artists to pursue new awareness-raising activities.
