A curtain of 21 hanging water bottle chains serves as a projection surface for a three-minute video loop. It shows the waves of water in the Lagos lagoon, the transition from land to sea. The visual composition is supported by the sound of the waves and a fan that makes the curtain of bottles vibrate slightly.
Lagos produces around 13,000 tonnes of waste every day. Much of it is plastic bottles, which often end up in the waterways, blocking natural drainage as they make their way to the sea.
