Precise waste separation is a common and almost sacred practice in Germany. There are around 7 well-defined categories for residential trash and every trash item should be disposed of accordingly. However, waste separation remains an individual choice and represents an ethical posture as well as the endorsement of a particular lifestyle that incarnates the capitalistic logic of constant growth and reutilization of resources. ‘Ich’, German for me or I, consists of a selection of German manufactured domestic trash cans with variable divisions and compartments ideal for separation of waste. The trashcans are normally concealed within kitchen cupboards and are retractable. There are over 200 variations of retractable trash cans available in the market to suit each individual customer’s required compartmentalisation. For this work, Fujiwara has coated selected models in liquefied bronze, thus formally evoking a classic sculpture or the idealised figure in a landscape.
