Landfill

Landfill is a cast of Nanjido, an artificial mountain filled with many facilities that handle leachate and toxic gas, produced in 3D scanning, printing, and sculpture. The piece shows the facilities linked to pipes and the land as one mass. The focus of the research is Nanjido, an artificial ground made of 97 million tons of waste. It was built upon a low-lying area at an altitude of 8 meters and now has reached 100 meters above sea level, constantly emitting methane gas. The work is a scan of the actual landfill. The small holes created during the programming have a fluidic nature and are breathing space through holes. They deliver a sensory experience of the imagined “things that are buried and invisible.”
