4.To create"Washed Up Transforming a Trashed Landscape",Alejandro Duran gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka'an,Mexico's largest federallyprotected reserve.The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yet every day,plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores.These materials inspired Duran to create a series of environmental art pieces,which he records with photos and videos.
I had the opportunity to speak with Duran.Duran was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn.He said that he's been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years,and the work is ongoing."The project will tell me when to stop".
Each piece can convey a vastly different mood,from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes."I'm making art,"said Duran."It comes from the context and my moods.You can't say,only make something dark."The work reflects and plays with natural forms,exploring how humans influence the environment.The colorful and playful images can be much attentiongrabbing."Beauty is a hook (鉤子) to arrest people's attention."said Duran.
In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem,Duran is also involved in educational programs and helps to organize beach cleanups.He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka'an,and has identified objects from 50different countries.Although there's no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea,their labels show the global nature of the problem.
