SHOPPING BAGS

Caroline Fuss grew up at a time when plastic was not yet considered an environmental problem. “Plastic is fantastic!!!” was even a famous slogan. At school, she would chew and digest the tips of her plastic pens, and for decades she did her shopping using and discarding large quantities of plastic bags.

For this series, Caroline used different plastic bags, which, combined and arranged according to aspects of color, pattern, or her own designs, became something new and without purpose. The bags’ original function and reason for existing disappear, becoming invisible, regardless of whether they are intact or worn.
