Wrapped in Plastic

“Wrapped in Plastic” is a satire on a collective hysteria around plastic. It’s created as a parody of a horror movie where plastic plays the role of evil. The character of sexy and blonde doll Garbie (Garbage+Barbie) lost her way in the haunted forest. Plastic bags emerge from the darkness like ghosts; toothbrushes, straws and bottles grow instead of trees, and a variety of other horror cliches are waiting for her ahead.
The film is produced by means of stop-motion animation. Its settings are created entirely from garbage collected in the city. Barbie doll is сhosen as a main character as embodiment of consumerism: her lifestyle generates an overwhelming amount of garbage and plastic.
Private screening of the film in Kiev has been a part of a grandiose art project devoted to plastic pollution. The settings of animation were recreated in human size at the territory of art space. The visitors had to walk through the haunted forest by themselves before they could watch the animation. They had experience visiting Disneyland from trash.
