It was earlier that artists painted the Sistine Chapels or created paintings such as "Madonna" or "La Gioconda". Most contemporary art museums are littered with rubbish. Some figuratively, some literally. The latter, for example, includes the MACRO Museum in Rome, where a ten-meter installationcreated from plastic waste.
In recent years, garbage has been rapidly moving from landfills to museum exhibition halls. Contemporary artists openly declare the value of their creativity, bringing a variety of conceptual foundations under it. Authors working with this kind of material include Peter McFarlane, Makaon or Mark Oliver.
And the other day at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, also known by the abbreviation MACRO, a huge installation by the Cameroonian artist Pascale Marthine Tayou, also created from rubbish, was presented.
The installation, ten meters high, is a rounded cone made of many thousands of multi-colored plastic bags. Through this sculpture, Pascal Martin Teilu wanted to ridicule modern society with its cult of endless consumption, as well as the widespread processes of environmental pollution, including through plastic.
The installation by Pascal Martin Teilu is just a part of the large Secret Garden exhibition presented at the Rome Museum of Modern Art, dedicated to the pernicious influence of Civilization on the world around us.

Broken plastic hangers, bent forks and spoons, used plastic dishes … Who keeps such trash if it must be immediately sent to the trash heap? And who throws it away, the artist Sayaka Ganz, whose sculptural installations just consist of just such rubbish, may ask with the same bewilderment
