“If you dig in someone’s trash, you’re going to know about that person, ... you’re going to know things they don’t want you to know. One day, an archaeologist will dig in [a landfill] to learn about us - because the truth is in the trash.”
Wastelands interrogates landfills as a contingent archaeological landscape, an active record of how we live today. Aligned with existing landfill operation, the project sees the potential for a situated material museum to be built during the covering of the landfill.
