| Sumario: | <em>Wastiary</em>, or Bestiary of Waste, is a creative exercisethat occupies letters, numbers, and symbols of Western academiclanguage to compose a list of 35 short entries on the uncomfortablebut pressing topic of waste in the contemporary world. Thecollection is richly illustrated with artwork, photography, collageand mixed media. The book is a heterodox compendium of 'beasts ofwaste', playfully re-imagining the medieval treatise on variouskinds of animal. It conveys the message that various forms of wasteand pollution have achieved a beast-like or untameable quality, attimes pungently transferring to considerations of 'the human', orhumans treated as waste. |
