For Paul Bulteel’s project “Cycle & Recycle,” the photographer travelled to recycling plants across Europe to document the “volumes and variety of waste streams.” See more of his bewildering and evocative work:
is deeply interested in this problem, perhaps in part because he lives in a region that seems to be successfully addressing it. Belgium has one of the highest recycling rates in the world: eighty per cent of its total packaging waste and forty-one per cent of its plastic packaging is transformed into new, reusable materials. For his new book of photographs, “Cycle & Recycle,” Bulteel travelled to recycling plants in Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, the Netherlands, and France.
The result is bewildering, evocative, and often beautiful. Most of the photographs depict a pile of one material, which has been collected and sorted, then shredded, pancaked, stacked, crushed, or otherwise transformed. Although Bulteel seems more interested in the communal than the individual, he occasionally captures a winking narrative detail. One picture shows white and pastel mattresses in two mounds in a warehouse.
Other subjects include shards of forest-green glass, slabs of ripped black rubber, vats of alkaline batteries, lolling tongues of white latex foam, disembodied LCD screens, piles of cracked windshields, a nest of chopped telephone cables, steaming indoor compost heaps that evoke the set of “Cats,” and a flattened red car. The photographs are bright, color-saturated, geometric; they suggest a return to order from chaos.
