Awareness on Communication
The topic of plastic so important today, places this contest as a personal commitment to the environment and to the way of seeing the plastic material, without demonizing but evaluating the essential aspect of recycling.
My photographic idea regarding the theme is that of the reuse of plastic materials, of any type for recreational purposes, both for children and adults, I thought that the image of a city rebuilt with waste materials was a possibility, see not plus the object itself but reassemble it, color it and make it an element of the game landscape.
I collected some pieces of plastic in a landfill near the Naviglio Canal, I washed the pieces and assembled them, these strange decontextualized objects take on a different concept and give a new appearance compared to their primary use, I imagined a child taking bottles or other things from home and builds, colors, assembles for his own world, just as an adult could do with modeling, the sky and the roads that I put are a photographic freedom that I allowed myself for a realization that would make the scenery more credible.
