Philipp Spillmann explores alternative materials found in garbage dumps, flea markets or discarded in nature. These materials suggest visualizations of perceptions and associations.

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.
