Lisette van der Ven - Precious Plastic

When googling the word ‘plastic’ loads of pictures filled with trash will pop up. Although this speaks volumes about our current situation, it makes you wonder whether or not this problem has always been there and how it all started; were there times where plastic didn’t have such a bad reputation? In ‘Precious Plastic’ you’ll be guided through the story of plastics from start to… possible solutions? Walking through the “rooms”, shaped by curtains, you’ll be presented with numerous objects either in the center on a pedestal or an overwhelming amount all around you. In the end we’ll be facing a problem, just like at the origin of the material, maybe plastic could also yet again be the answer. At the final circle, the conversation pit, you can rest and ponder or start a discussion on these issues with a friend.
