Plastic is everywhere, in bottles, packaging and many other everyday objects. 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. The Society of the Plastics Industry thus introduced a classification system consisting of a number from 1 to 7 in a triangle. In this series, additionally to its identification code each type of plastic is assigned a colour. The aim is to compile an overview of the plastic types pervasive in our lives and to provide information to support consumer decisions.
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.
