The Rotterdam-based artists Jeanne van Heeswijk and Paul Sixta interviewed 25 participants from households in Goulburn and the Sydney suburb of Liverpool. They questioned these volunteers on how they have tried to reduce their waste.

The interview approach unearthed disparate responses and reasons for waste, from the practical and personal to the metaphorical. They revealed an increasing awareness of waste (or wastefulness) and individual frustrations at the enormity of this problem and its impact on their daily lives.

The artists then scripted and filmed a series of narratives based on these personal stories. The Talking Trash exhibition presents these 25 narratives in the form of three minute video fictions, alongside an installation of photographic stills and personal objects gleaned from the project’s participants.
