Odd(L)ities

The basis of the work are plaster castings of plastic packaging of various products, which we encounter every day. These disposable packaging protects our electronics (light bulbs, headphones, microphone), daily necessities (wall hooks, batteries, WC block), or food (lunch box, box of chocolates, biscuits). However, once they fulfill their sole purpose, they are usually thrown away. While observing the shapes of these plastic moldings, I realized that they have their unique shapes, both openly or more subtly customized to their content, and I decided to materialize this secondary shape by casting.

Then I digitized these castings using a 3D scanner and, using a computer-generated layout, created

a large map, consisting only of the inverse shapes of long-discarded packages. We can see a strange landscape of more or less familiar shapes, and even though I did not initially create the work with any ecological appeal, the question arises in my mind: Isn´t there a similar landscape somewhere in the ocean? The name is a combination of the czech term for the cast (odlitek) and the word oddity.
