Garbage embrace Garbage embrace is a site specific performance created to confront the finance world with its excesses of pride and self-confidence. The project is a satirical, destabilizing mirror, which invites us to think about the consequences of our actions, and the waste they produce. The strength of this performance is to use local characteristics in order to pose new questions and address other specific issues.
