Consumption composites

“Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience.”

Susan Sontag

The term ”waste” could have two possible meanings. It could mean something expended extravagantly and carelessly, or it could mean discarded material no longer useful from the result of a process. My master examination project at Konstfack is an exploration about these two definitions and the two realities behind them.


Waste could be a mirror in which we can see ourselves, reflect about our habits, what we consume and the way we live. It is interesting if we could remember how we felt at the moment of buying; was it exciting or did it fulfill some dream or was it just one more thing in the bunch that we already have?  Probably it was full of all kinds of experiences and memories that are no longer anymore.
