Sewage Metropolis Print

The project deals with tonnes of Londoners’ faeces, however my intention was to create a project that does not convey the abjection, instead the graphical representation of this project references the style of art nouveau, the visual is decorative and has extensive use of the gold colour. In Piero Manzoni’s work ‘Artist’s shit’, he sold his own canned faeces at the price of gold, an object (faeces) that was deemed repulsive to society was given new value. Similarly to faeces, Thamesmead has become a rejected place that is commonly described as the ‘dump’ due to the sewage treatment plant in the area. Just like Manzoni’s concept, the use of gold in this project manifests the notion of ‘base materialism’ – the celebration of the base and rejection the imposition of hierarchy to objects or places.
