Book Launch

Whole Waste Catalog — undo it yourself by Raphael Perret

MATERIAL

Apr. 7th – 12am, 2022

It is our great pleasure to present the documentation of the socially engaged, artistic research project on the informal e-waste recycling, Zurich & Delhi 2015–2019 by Raphael Perret. The work involves the development and successful testing of a smart phone application for informal e-waste workers in Delhi, taking reference to the famous Whole Earth Catalog. A bike accident and a pandemic later, the publication is a milestone after a very long time of work without any publicity whatsoever.



We are very much looking forward to celebrate this moment together with you!


What connoisseurs say:
