I didn’t know that our blog “Creativity from Without” had to be about an artist haha. So here it is :)
HA Schult, is a German installation, and conceptual artist known primarily for his object and performance art and more specifically his work with garbage.
Schult is known by his trademark quote, “We produce trash, are born from trash, and will turn back into trash." Therefore…'Trash People' are images of ourselves,” explains the artist.
Schult used to be arrested for his artwork, but now he is so widely known that people embrace what they see, instead of calling it a crime.
Since his first trash installation in 1996 where HA Schult installed one thousand life sized Trash People in the Amphitheatre of Xanten, the artist has decided to send his message around the world. HA Schult’s trash figures have appeared in Rome, New York, Barcelona, Brussels, Cairo, Peking, Moscow and the Arctic.
Ha Schult is inspiring to me because of how much he believes in his artwork. With all that passion, as well as the large scale of his installation, he is making a huge statement. It’s incredible to think that these sculptures have been seen by almost the entire population.
