Household electronics, questionable clothing, SchnickSchnack or the ubiquitous Mattress - Räúurt Eúre Scheiße weg . is a zine documenting a project which explored the socio-economic phenomena of trash and object disposal onto the streets of Berlin. The project reflected on these forgotten objects, their ephemerality and the potential benefits and detriments of this secondary recycling economy. A selection of the trash objects I encountered were transformed into site-specific sound sculptures. However, just as ephemeral as trash they were made of, these sculptures are no longer sounding, preserved only in the zine.  Copies are available at the exhibition.
