Golden Trashes - Pauline Bastard (2008)

Golden Waste - Emmanuel Colombani (2009)

Gold and rubbishes as oxymoron in those works of Pauline Bastard in “Golden Trashes” and Emmanuel Colombani in “Golden Waste”. Gold is glorifying rot, like the Beauty supports the Beast, this precious material transforms waste into “value-added rubbishes”. How to change a disgusted-eyed into a greedy one in one shake of a spray-paint.
