That's Just Rubbish, Tim!

Welcome to the Corona Virus Chronicles... Tim is now self-isolating, and presenting his videos directly from his apartment, via a web link.

'Their work combines assemblage, light, shadow and humour. At first glance, we see jumbled piles of trash, the familiar by-products of a throw-away society. The piles evoke the aftermath of a binge, the hangover from a party that went on too long. We soon discover, however, that the piles are in fact precise constructions that cast crisp, figurative shadows under directed light.'

'Throughout their careers, the artists have collected the cast offs of others, building a stockpile of broken furniture, stepladders, crates, and other discarded goods. They salvaged these items for unknown future uses, refusing to acknowledge them as waste. And as they transform these rescued items into increasingly-abstract and spatial feats of portraiture, they give us hope that ingenuity and creative reuse can light the path to human progress.'

The first image that Tim shows is called 'Sunset Over Manhattan' 2003, made from cigarette packets, tin cans shot by air gun pellets, a wooden bench.

The second picture is 'Made of Money' 2002, made from £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes!

The third picture is 'Miss Understood & Mr Meanor, 1997, made from trash.

Finally, 'Dirty White Trash (with gulls), 1998, made from trash and 2 taxidermy seagulls.

In all cases, a projector is used to cast a shadow on the back wall, and amazingly a picture shadow appears!

1326 videos and still we've not seen every item in Tim's collection. I feel we haven't even seen 5% of it.

next time someone asked about all the trash in my room, I will say it's art! 😂😂

[estesandia]

Love how he shows us the pictures instead of scanning them. That is awesome as you would expect from Tim

[redmoon]

Reminds me of the story of the artist who's exhibition was trash strewn about a room.

The cleaning lady didn't know it was an art piece so she cleaned it all up and threw it in the trash. Well, the artist, he thought it was hilarious and then had that trash can on display as his art piece.

Love this channel from bottom of my heart

[mumfnah]

Seen this effect in a shop window somewhere in East London, I think near Liverpool Street. Probably by these artists then.
Good effect

Tim Noble and Sue Webster's works of arts are very fun.

1:44 “Two blokes talking.”
Yes, a couple of beheaded blokes heads on spikes talking to each other.

[hopolo]

that is amazing, from concept to execution to deeper, philosophical extrapolations.

[vanlifeinthecity]

Always amazing. The perfect example of being a child at heart. Love it

[coffeefrog]

Your ceaseless childlike wonder and optimism in the face of the morbid gave me a laugh.
Please never change!
