This project is about the digital recycling and photonic degradation of categories of waste. It has symbolic value and its goal it to promote circular economy. A large bin of oyster shells can be waste or can be turned into a new, value added by-products such as construction material, food supplement, pharmaceutics, animal feed, or plastic production. Visually, this project is grounded in my interest in the works of Christiane Feser and Rowan Mersch, whose artworks are dominated by monochrome landscapes, and the strangeness of folded and layered surfaces. The visual recycling experience has progressed in stages: in the studio, the waste texture has been surveyed, using harsh, grazing light to extract meaningful but ambiguous shapes. Then the almost monochrome objects have been purified and converted in the circular economy of digital artefacts. Light values have been subtracted and combined in several iterations to obtain a new substance, which is both new energy, new air, new metal and new wood. Prints range from 105 x 130 cm to 150 x 200 cm and come in either Alu Dibond (metal finish) or in Fuji Crystal Pearl (metal finish) framed versions.
