Wertstoff I
On the joy and misery of collecting
Portraits of seven “extreme collectors” (so-called hoarders) and their personal stories, shown for six weeks on 500 posters in A0 and A1 format at 200 locations across Munich. Under the campaign title “Wildes Plakatieren”, election poster boards in Munich were used for art for the first time.
The portraits are part of the project series “Wertstoff”, which explores how we deal with things – from recycling and repair to shaping the future. The campaign was accompanied by several expert talks on the theme “Wertstoff – Ressourcen und Recycling”.
The poster campaign, lasting several weeks, carried these questions into public space.
