Cable Flowers

Project Proposal for Recycling Art Festival during workshop “Abfall. Zufall. Einfall.” 2010, Hartberg, Austria

Technique: Recycled electric cable, banner. Dimensions: Cable Flowers – 30x5x5cm

Recycled electric cable looks to me like a stem of a flower. I would like to make them blooming like orchids, tulips, callas flowers. There is a “garden” of cables behind my monitor, printer, scanner and all my other equipment on my desk. I discovered that from the cables I can create some flower objects. I show the transformation for the cables to bloom in to a flower using the photography. In my photographs there are stories about silhouettes of flowers as a metaphor for human feelings.

Workshop “Abfall. Zufall. Einfall.” – “Trash. Chance. Idea” was designed to provide artists in particular and also experts in the environmental area with the possibility to ‘put the process in motion’ regarding the subjects: waste, waste reduction and recycling, in theoretical and practical papers.
