Philipp Spillmann explores alternative materials found in garbage dumps, flea markets or discarded in nature. These materials suggest visualizations of perceptions and associations. These unexpected objects – remains of human activities – can become a piece of jewelry. In this piece, we see part of an aluminum coffee kettle found in the forest, and a bit of a teak coffee table and more zinc-plated stee found in the city.
