Pictures from an exhibition on the “grand place” of brussels.[size=-1]
[/size] The Trash People are life-size representations of people created from consumer refuse (tin cans, metal containers…)
Ha Schult, one of Europe’s foremost practitioners of Action Art, first exhibited them in Germany in 1996. The figures triggered such a positive response that he decided to take them on tour : La Grande Arche de la Défense in Paris and Moscow’s Red Square in 1999, the Great Wall of China in 2001, the Giza Pyramids in 2002, Switzerland’s Matterhorn in 2003 and now in brussels.
