City of Questions, City of Stuff

“City of Questions, City of Stuff”, is a group installation created by six artists working in Shanghai, each contributing a small component of an imaginary city made from materials that might otherwise have been discarded.  Each component of the city—an apartment house, a factory, a park – is entitled with a question about waste: Where do my food scraps end up?  What is the most useless thing? What is the best place for waste?  How many full-time sanitation employees are in Shanghai?

The artworks are each mounted on pedestals made from construction debris, and stand at eye-height.  Visitors can meander through the city “streets” and view the details of each artwork close-up. Visitors are also invited to add their questions about waste to a list that is exhibited on one wall, which will be compiled and delivered to the public affairs officer at the Xuhui District Dept. of Sanitation.
