Museum of Plastic

YES was asked to create two art installations showcasing the effects of single use plastic for The Museum of Plastic. We were thrilled to design tangible pieces to illustrate this climate emergency.

We created a 25’ receipt that listed all the things we could buy with the 200 Billion in revenue single use plastic bottles are projected to reach by 2022. Taking a serious and satirical approach, some line items included “buying 8 million college degrees” and “paying off the Fyre Fest debt”.  This piece was also showcased at Miami’s Art Basel.

Additionally, we made a 12’ Whale Tail made of EVER & EVER aluminum water bottles. We wanted guests to feel dwarfed by this piece and consider the effects of plastic polluting our oceans. We’ve since gone on to make this piece at various events.

A big thank you to our friends Young Hero for including us in this very special project.
