STALAGMITES - site-specific urban installation OpenArt Biennale 2017, Orebro, Sweden Size: each Stalagmite: diam. 1,50 x h from 5,30 to 3,70 meters about Materials: waste aluminum cans, staples, iron net (skeleton)

Seven large Stalagmites made up of small strips of over 8,000 waste aluminum cans, cut and sewn one by one with approximately 120,000 metal staples. A long, slow work to convey the idea of the slow but inexorable sedimentation of waste, and how this daily process changes ours landscape, external and internal. Photo credit PiDeNi
