We Are Plastic
Awareness on Communication
We are Plastic is a project highlighting the environmental issue around the abuse of plastic and the challenging task of recycling through a different approach, through ART.
Inspired by the obliteration action of repeated patterns taken by famous artist Yayoi Kusama I have decide to turn an everyday object like a plastic bottle in a piece of Art using my dotting technique.
At the moment I am working on this project with the association “QuadrilegiO’ for Parma Capitale della Cultura 2020. 1300 students are involved in painting thousands of recycled plastic bottles following my signature technique. Together we are aiming to build a huge installation focus on Parma skyline and its most famous monuments. The installation will be up for few weeks in Piazzale Santafiora. The opening day will be on March the 27th.
At the end of the exhibiting weeks the installation will be dismounted and the dotted bottles will start travelling towards a new project, becoming a continuously changing itinerant installation.
We believe Guiltless Plastic RO is perfect opportunity for the ‘WE ARE PLASTIC’ project next step.
