Welcome

NOTrubbish is a not-for-profit community action enterprise. ... If we are to ever get a really dynamic, sustainable, socially relevant and multidimensional resource recovery system anywhere on this planet we must do one thing first. We need to stop imagining our waste as rubbish. We must stop thinking that there is an 'AWAY' where stuff can be thrown and forgotten about.

DISTOPIAN MINDsets CALLEDout

Since 2020, the Littered Mvmnts project by Japanese-American artist Shoji Yamasaki has intrigued, amused, and fascinated millions of people. Through a series of viral videos, he transforms discarded waste into veritable dance partners, reproducing its wind-borne movements with his own body. A seemingly simple idea, but one that reveals a profound reflection on our daily, often unconscious, relationship with the objects we leave behind.

By placing trash at the heart of his choreography, Yamasaki diverts our gaze: what is usually ignored suddenly becomes living, captivating, almost poetic. Split-screen after split-screen, the creator stages an intimate relationship between humans and their refuse, without moralizing but with a subtlety that touches on ecology, artistic expression, and understated humor.
