Discovery of artists: Art waste, a life of garbage

 

3

When art is trashed, it results in monstrously original creations. Star of the underground exhibition Les Extatiques, the collective Déchets d’art revealed to the whole world these fascinating creatures made of odds and ends. Plastic caps, pieces of string, fishing nets, CDs, straws, rubber... Here, nothing is lost, everything can be recovered. At the heart of this beautiful awareness project for environmental preservation, committed artists and senior volunteers give a second life to our waste. We present you with one of the most beautiful of their creations, Manman Dlo, a legendary storybook character who belongs to Guyanese folklore and who we find here in great shape with his magnetic tapes from audio cassettes, his crocheted wool and its bottle caps almost like new!
