Giulio Laura & Fabio Meliffi
Material Politics
Price Per Gram
Perfectly imperfect commodities.
What we Mine is what we value. For us, discarded materials shape our local habitats and exist as a byproduct of human activity. This abundance of seemingly infinite materia affords our process. We disrespect complexity, closeness and exclusionary characteristics of industrialization. Strategise a self production, repair, reuse and repurpose.
Home is a laboratory.
The proposed Commodities are composed from a stockpile of found thermoplastics and steel. These hoardings rethink the sensemaking of value, they are solutions to problems that don't yet exist.
