Trash in Takadanobaba

“Going to try to make an object out of trash I found on the side of the road that I'll want to take with me to my coffin.”

Together with students from Tokyo Gakugei University and participants in general oddball studies, we strolled around Takadanobaba, collected what we usually recognize as trash, and held a workshop to find a comfortable form for ourselves among them. There was only one condition: “to create a trash object that you would want to take with you to the coffin.”
Each participant collected trash, despite their own worries, and in the time they had left, they searched for a form they would like so much that they would even take it to the coffin.

Hints for all kinds of things can be found all over the place, just like garbage.
