In the developed world nearly everything has become disposable. In my quest to deeper understand our “throwaway culture”, I head out after four, the evening before garbage pickup, exploring various neighbor-hood’s trash. The discarded objects as artifacts of contemporary America provide ethnographic insight, telling of our material culture, stories and values. After four is a documentation of my finds throughout the city, observing and retrieving the lost and discarded objects of consumer society and reinvesting them with considerations of value, utility and meaning.
