From the WMA Commission Recipient on the theme of WASTE – TRES: “Ubiquitous Trash” is a process of continual scavenging that depicts the social life of the strange abandoned objects we call trash. Starting with incessant walks and obsessive rummaging in Hong Kong, TRES has explored the signs and marks imprinted on trash collected from public spaces, beaches, and official waste sites. This scavenging activity, typical of the collective, was first transformed into a book, where the intertwining of public space and trash became the place where a multiplicity of relationships where explored, making clear the sociopolitical from an artistic perspective.
