On closer inspection, nothing about it was found. \u003cem\u003e'Modular Waste'\u003c\/em\u003e is a complete fabrication, built from the ground up by Ryder Studios in collaboration with Gwak Productions (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gwakproductions\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e@gwakproductions\u003c\/a\u003e). No real dumpster was used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery signifier of the original was reconstructed by hand: the fork pockets, the reflectors, the industrial casters, the municipal green. The surface was then painted and aged in successive layers to simulate years of weather and use, a deliberate act of deterioration that gives the piece its uncanny authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dumpster is the object we keep outside: filthy, discarded, something no one wants to touch. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Modular Waste’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brings it inside, into the home, and invites you to lie down in it. What we read as disgusting becomes a place of comfort. The tags, the stickers, the rust and weathering, marks that usually signal neglect, become the artwork itself: a record of the street, recreated by hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite glove delivery and placement available within the United States.
