Basurama | Junk Playground: Trash as the Sole Material

The entire playground is made solely from discarded items: scrapped tires piled into towers and tunnels, old advertising tarpaulins stretched into shade covers and hammocks, pallets assembled into platforms, and plastic barrels strung together to form a swinging passage. The origin of the materials is deliberately not hidden—tire treads and wear are still visible on the tires, and original advertisements are still printed on the tarpaulins. Assembly primarily uses ropes and zip ties, allowing for disassembly and modification. This approach is simultaneously a playground and a direct exhibition about consumption and waste. The sites are mostly idle urban vacant lots. Photographed under strong daylight, the mixed colors of the materials and the temporary structures are clearly visible. Avoid: materials repainted to hide their origin, structures made refined and permanent, any newly purchased play equipment used, site neatly planned.

整座遊戲場只用被丟棄的東西做成:報廢輪胎堆成塔與隧道,舊廣告帆布拉成遮蔭與吊床,棧板拼成平台,塑膠桶串成搖擺的通道。材料的來歷刻意不隱藏——輪胎上還看得見胎紋與磨損,帆布上還印著原本的廣告。組裝以繩索與束帶為主,可拆可改。這種作法同時是遊戲場,也是關於消費與廢棄的直接展示。基地多為都市裡的閒置空地。日間強光下拍攝,材料的雜色與臨時的結構清楚。避免:材料重新塗裝掩蓋來歷、結構做得精緻永久、使用任何新購的遊具、場地整齊規劃。
