Every day, human activity produces trash. It is not only through production and consumption; the application of social norms in society produces trash too. On behalf of the social norms in society, we recognize the term “scum of society.” Whether it’s consciously or unconsciously, we’ve always lived in selective social conditions, accepting certain values and discard others. Through this project titled “Black Market Museum”,Tejuoso seeks to breathe life into everything that has already become outcasts. Ranging from packaging waste, abandoned building to human resources cast aside by social norms. By doing so, he not only inhales life into the trashes, but he also instills new values and invites us to always remember the benefit of these repurposed materials.
