Design for disintegration
Millions of years as oil, a few months as a
water bottle, then an eternity floating around
as plastic particles. The things we discard
outlive us by centuries.
It is difficult to imagine any other way.
Difficult; but not impossible. Dream of other
worlds, and perhaps they will appear.
The project Design for Disintegration investigates biodegradable materials through the lens of speculative fiction. This bikini dissolves in water. You may
compost it, or rinse it down the drain. In a
future where all your objects slip through your
fingers, would you try to
hold on? Or would you learn to let go?
