MARSEILLE / COGOLETO

<p> December 2013 I discovered a trash container lying on a beach on the island of Frioul, off Marseille . A sticker attached to it indicates its origin : the municipality of Cogoleto in the province of Genoa. I went back to Marseille to hit the road and bring it back to its starting point in Italy.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="03" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86198/03.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="10" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86200/10.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> So I transformed the container in a backpack and equipped with wheels , I'm gonna hit the road on May 16. With minimal equipment ( tent, sleeping bag, an iPhone as a camera / camera, some clothes and drawing materials ), I intend to walk to the city of Cogoleto, sleeping in improvised palces during 10-15 days. Once i'll be there I will go to the mayor and municipal services of the city, return the trash. On May 16 , I 'll send an email to let them know about my venue.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="02" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86201/02.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="03bis" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86202/03bis.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="05" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86203/05.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="06" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86204/06.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="07" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86205/07.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="08" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86206/08.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="09" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/86207/09.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>" This is the story of a drift . A story of a plastic container which sailed before running aground . A story of a meeting, one afternoon in December. The story of a journey past and a trip to become, a loop. As often we visit a country we bring back, a gift, a souvenir , a bauble, a totem ... this time it is reported be a trash can."</em></p>

Allocation of funds

<p> Living in Berlin, I have to take a return flight Berlin / Nice and then go to Marseille by train, where the container, modified into a backpack expect for me. Donations will help me to cover transportation costs (plane/ train) food for 15 days and the costs of production (Photo Prints, frames, purchase items and watercolor paper)</p>
