"Nice trash" opens an opportunity to look into contemporary social and philosophical discourses, questioning the concept of trash and its aesthetic potential. The project represents a specific collection of objects collected in transparent IKEA bags, which we generally consider as a trash.  These objects lose their original meaning in the scenography, which is constantly changing by the performer in eight-hour blocks, thus symbolizing the constant transformation and exploration of the value of the natural volatility of the dance art form in today's society.

​​

   The main theme of the project is a critique of the capitalist approach to art and creation, where artistic work is often undervalued and underappreciated.  The exhibition reveals what it means to be a dance artist in an environment where the current amount of funding for culture is often insufficient. The author, 28-year-old dancer with over twenty years of dance experience, uses his own identity and experience to illustrate the sense of marginalization and futility that many artists face in today's world.

   The metaphor of "nice trash" is developed here as an expression of self-perception and social criticism.  The project examines how society values ​​individuals and their work, with trash serving as a powerful symbol for what is perceived as superfluous or worthless. Specific objects and inscriptions as a notes from documentation of creative process also encourage us to think about our relationship with trash and its other meanings.​

 

   Projections of social media posts on the wall are reflecting on the theme of trash point to the common problem of the disposable way of life in capitalism, where objects are often considered consumables, regardless of their potential value after initial use.

​​

   The project not only raises questions about sustainability and the ethics of consumption, but also provokes the viewer to introspect about their own role in these dynamics.  Through personal and collective reflection, the project tries to create a space for discussion about the value of art, work and identities in the context of the current social system.​
