①We usually think that garbage is dirty and useless. However, an art exhibition (展览) in 2022 proves that “useless” things can actually be helpful.

②Dear Pretty Rubbish, an art event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWFN) and digital media art company Blackbow, was held in Beijing. It asked questions about the relationship between our lifestyles and our garbage.

③“We hope that everyone who visited the show can think about how ‘useless things’ are produced, why they are tossed out and whether ‘useless things’ are really useless.” said Cao Yujia, the design director at Blackbow.

④The organizers said that all the raw materials for the exhibition were collected from community garbage cans.

⑤Artists Zhou Yuxuan and Liu Yifan collected nylon cable ties (尼龙扎带), LED lights and drink bottles from designers’ workshops to create a work where plastics, in the shape of cells, “grow” in a corner. There, the lights blink (闪烁) to imitate (模仿) “breathing”. When people walk near it, the work forms light patterns, as if communicating with the visitors. Speaking about the work, Zhou said, “It’s like some kind of communication between humans and plastics.”

⑥Plastic has a life longer than almost any creature, taking centuries to break down. Though people blame plastics for damage (伤害) to the environment, they are a big part of our daily lives.

⑦“So we want to ask the question: Although the damage continues, is there a way for humans to reconcile (和解) with plastics?” said Zhou.
