CLOUDS I NUAGES During a research trip to Cairo, Egypt in 2009 Lucy + Jorge Orta visited the Zabbaleen community who live on a garbage mountain of Moqattam. Round 65,000 Zabbaleen people live off this refuse sorting, sifting, classifying the city's waste: bottles, plastic jerry cans, fabric, card-board. Reflecting on the sheer volume of the debris, in particular the plastic water container, they began experimenting with assemblage using recycled bottles. The resulting Cloud sculptures are the second phase in the OrtaWater project, here we see their artistic research shift from the water distribution cycle to that of the consumer object and it's consequence on society: on the one hand a vital commodity for the recycling community and on the other a disastrous pollutant on the environment.
