Trash people

HA Schult said that he wants to increase peoples consciousness about how much we actually produce all kind of crap. For that he has made a total army of trash people, in human size made of rubbish. The last stop of his artwork was in Adventdalen where 300 Arctic people, as he was calling them, were standing - or laying after the first night with strong wind.

I'm not having anything against to have some trash standing out in the valley, as long as they managed to pick up the pieces of broken people from the snow which was blown over them. But I'm little bit sceptical how much those standing men increased awareness of littering within local people. I think it would have been working better if all the army would have been standing middle of the town. Now I was feeling that those trash people were hidden in the valley as we're hiding our rubbish out of sight.
