For this ongoing series, participants are invited to collect all their plastic waste during a single week. The discarded materials, packaging, bottles, wrappers and fragments from daily life, become the starting point for abstract compositions inspired by the structure of their city or neighbourhood. Using these collected remnants, Conrad van Tiggelen creates layered works that resemble aerial maps, urban grids and fragmented street patterns.

 

The project transforms personal waste into a form of cartography. What is normally thrown away becomes a visual

record of movement, behaviour and routine. Streets, crossings and city blocks emerge from materials that once

circulated unnoticed through daily life.

 

Although rooted in specific locations, the works avoid literal representation. The cities become anonymous landscapes shaped by traces of consumption and human presence. From a distance, the compositions may resemble satellite imagery or urban plans; up close, they reveal accumulations of discarded plastic and packaging materials.

 

The title refers to the disappearance of clear identity within contemporary urban life, where personal and collective patterns increasingly overlap. Each work reflects both an individual story and a broader system of global consumption, circulation and waste.

 

By reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded, the series also questions whether art itself can exist without creating additional waste. The works search for a balance between material beauty, environmental awareness and abstraction — transforming the overlooked remains of everyday life into new urban landscapes.
