Plastic is everywhere. Yet, not all plastics are created equal. Plastics are a large family of different materials, each with its own properties, and health and environmental impacts. Thus, a classification system was introduced consisting of a number from 1 to 7 in a triangle. ?With this work, I want to create a visual world that expands our verbal notion of plastics, and to provide reliable consumer information. I stage plastic objects as Still Life arrangements, sorted by type of plastic. Each type is assigned a color. Meaning is created by the interplay of photos, colors, symbols, texts.
Initially an Urban Photographer driven by her background in Geography and her interest in our perception of space (and time), Daria Martinoni's conceptual photo series now address the impact of human behaviour and consumerism on the environment. Daria’s style is characterised by her ability to turn ordinary, often overlooked subjects into striking images that spark conversations about pertinent issues. She plays with the design elements of perspective, colour and repetition to create images characterised by a rich attention to detail, composition, and contextual information.
