About the exhibition

Trash is gradually becoming a new geological layer on earth. Gigantic dumps are creating a new landscape visible even from space. Trash complexes are new monuments of our era and stunning works of land art, created by millions of people at once. ,In the future, perhaps our descendants will study the time in which we lived through our enormous ziggurats of trash.  

Balaban studies this problem using the Kuchino complex, located next to Balashikha,  as an example,   suggesting an examination of it as a new landmark.
