Wastiary: A Bestiary of Waste
Edited by Michael Hennessy Picard, Albert Brenchat-Aguilar, Timothy Carroll, Jane Gilbert and Nicola Miller
Wastiary, or Bestiary of Waste, is a creative
exercise that occupies letters, numbers, and symbols of Western academic
language to compose a list of 35 short entries on the uncomfortable but
pressing topic of waste in the contemporary world. The collection is richly
illustrated with artwork, photography, collage and mixed media.
The book is a heterodox compendium of ‘beasts of waste’, playfully re-imagining
the medieval treatise on various kinds of animal. It conveys the message that
various forms of waste and pollution have achieved a beast-like or untameable
quality, at times pungently transferring to considerations of ‘the human’, or
humans treated as waste.
