Science and Garbage (2003) by Pierre Herbert and Bob Ostertag

2003 - Pierre Herbert and Bob Ostertag perform together in Science and Garbage, a highly political Brechtian performance, where music and images are made out of coca cola cans and toy trucks, plastic toys like monkeys, frogs, penguins, soldiers, trains, tanks and planes, rubber ducks, apples, M&Ms, chips, lettuce and German newspapers. Sounds are created mainly by eating and drinking very close to the microphone and then looping and mixing them. Disturbing incredibly ironic, images of Bush and Iraqi victims are hunting the viewer, all in connection to trivial goods of a consumerist society.
