The Trashcam Project
Title Introduction Carousel Lightbox Checklist
In 2012 Mirko Derpmann and Christoph Blaschke of the German advertising and marketing agency Scholz & Friends of Berlin decided to experiment with using rubbish dumpsters as pinhole cameras. Working with the Hamburg Sanitation Department they spent five days visiting locations selected in conjunction with garbage collectors. A hole was drilled in a dumpster and large sheets of light sensitive photographic paper from a 30m roll were used. The Trashcam series of pinhole photographs continue the earlier tradition of Justin Quinnell and his Wheelie Bin camera.
