<Description>
What would animals tell human beings after they have died with their bellies full of the plastic garbage that we have thrown away? How much beauty must we lose before we can live in harmony with nature?
PET band is a mechanical device that records and plays back sounds on pieces of discarded plastic waste. Applying the principles of Thomas Edison’s tin foil phonograph, the work uses PET waste to record the voices of different people speaking about matters of human/nature coexistence, including topics of environmental pollution, plastic trash, and climate change. It consists of four plastic waste playback devices modeled on animals. The different voices recorded on the PET waste are played back automatically and simultaneously.
The recordings include a news report on glaciers melting due to global warming, the story of a sperm whale that died after eating 22 kg of plastic waste, information about mutations in animals as a result of the Chernobyl radiation leak, and a briefing by the Minister of Environment on new environmental policies. Meanwhile, the viewer hears the overlapping sounds of a voice reciting poetry, the twittering of birds, and a trumpet performance of “La Cucaracha.”

작품설명
인간이 버린 플라스틱 쓰레기를 삼키고 뱃속에 각종 쓰레기가 가득한 채로 죽은 동물들은 인간에게 무슨 이야기를
들려주고 싶을까. 우리는 얼마나 많은 아름다움을 잃어버려야 자연과 조화로운 삶을 살 수 있을까.
