Australia is known for its beautiful, varied landscapes and grandness. I made a road trip of over 4,500 kilometers straight through the outback; from Adelaide, via Alice Springs, to Brisbane. Here, in addition to the beauty of this immense land, the pollution caused by man was striking. Wherever I stopped it was littered with waste; from plastic bottles to cans, from fast food wrappers to glass. Plastic does not decompose, it gradually breaks down into smaller and smaller plastic parts. All those pieces never decompose and are really everywhere: in water, soil and air. Cans are also polluting.
Jacqueline en Rosanne are a photographic duo based in the Netherlands. The themes that are central to their photography are sustainability, up-cycling and an open mind. They make documentaries about (litter) waste and also create settings for their own fine art photos. These photos always have some absurdness or surrealism in it.
