The Gewerbemuseum 'Plastic Garbage' exhibit is an example of demonstrative street art meant to disrupt the natural comings and goings of museum goers. The dramatic display hopes to spark critical conversation about the environmental issues that are so well-known but hardly acted against.
The colorful display of air-filled plastic bags welcomes visitors to the 'Oh, Plastiksacki' exhibit at the Gewerbemuseum of Winthetur. The monstrous dump of environment-harming material is highlighted with lights that shine through the translucent plastic, proving to be an especially eerie and impressive spectacle at night.
The art collective luzinterruptus invited citizens of the city to bring plastic bags in exchange for tickets to create the spectacle. Both the making-of and the result the exhibit embody eco-conscious principles, which only adds to the power of this statement piece.
