Centre to Periphery

This is a long-term design & research project that investigates discarding and the role of landfills, as an antiquated disposal method and their entrenchment within contemporary waste management.

Constructed ever further on the periphery, landfills have become a »geospatial other«–a sacrificed zone–destined to receive the residues of hazardous waste streams, waste incineration and recycling streams, which to this day enables the centre to flourish and thus necessitates the landfills’ existence.

Fieldresearch takes place in The Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.
