Material Narrative
I collected the tent poles after a festival (sputnik spring break) from an apokalyptical appearing campsite. It is a shame that people do a mess for partying and to have a good time. I like to to raise peoples awareness for this topic. To make concious for it by reuse them in a proper and appreciate way.

The final result could be instalations on the festival ground for the next year. Also it is possible to generate some simple furniture and objects like lamps or baskets.
