This exhibition investigates the often-invisible processes of waste management and their societal and environmental consequences. Through mapping and a documentary film, it examines six regional waste processing sites to reflect on the meaning of waste in Amsterdam's urban development.
Waste has become increasingly invisible in our daily lives due to advanced collection systems and technologies, prompting questions about its true impact on consumption, production, and the environment. "Cityguide to Waste: Artifacts of Accumulation" challenges visitors to see waste not as a mere byproduct, but as a profound mirror of contemporary society. The project, developed by Architect in Residence Carolien Schippers in collaboration with LOCUMENT, delves into six regional waste processing sites. Through investigative mapping and a short documentary film titled "Artifacts of Accumulation," the exhibition scrutinizes the architectures and technological processes involved in transforming domestic and industrial waste. It aims to reveal the cultural and ecological questions our refuse raises, prompting a re-evaluation of landfills and processing sites and their essential connection to thriving urban centers. The exhibition seeks to inspire a fundamental rethinking of our relationship with waste and material resources, exploring potential future pathways where waste is a central element in urban and ecological planning, rather than an afterthought.
