WASTE / DEPOSIT spring/summer 2023
In the spring of 2023, we conducted three field trips for groups of approximately eight participants from different artistic disciplines and research fields. The groups went on excursions, met local experts, ate and talked together. In these meetings, we laid the foundation for further exploration of the potential and issues related to the landfill situations in Sokndal, which can also be seen against global environmental challenges surrounding the disposal and management of human-made waste.
