This mineral colours-toned, biomorphic sculpture is one of the unique specimens belonging to Trashstones, the most renowned and iconic artwork cycle by Wilhelm Mundt. As suggested by the title, the stone is made out of trash, wrought from scraps that the artist gathered in his studio. The number "036" – in a set that reached up to 700 sculptures – evokes a serial production process, and reflects on the theme of consumption. The artwork, dated 1992, along with the series it belongs to, reveals an early attention to the theme of recovery and reuse, thus anticipating – as it pertains to art – the concepts of sustainability and circular economy. Trashstone 036 invites us to lower ourselves, to look towards the ground and explore its shapes, its terrain and the natural context in which the sculpture is immersed.
