Deutschland im Herbst - Softcover

The Brussels based collective Rotor created a platform for the endorsement of industrial waste re-use. Rotor wants, among other things, to encourage contacts between producers of "interesting" waste and potential re-users from the field of industry, design or architecture. The publication presents a documentation of different materials as well as the research that Rotor did in the past few years in different waste companies. It contains an essay on the historical change of the role of waste in society as well as and interview between the curators and the collective's members.
