Products
made from cow waste
Cows produce 2.3 times more manure than milk. Cow dung has many applications
all over the world ranging from sterlizing agent to building material.
The
stall initially appears as a typical shop stand with its visual references
to commercial branding. Yet on closer inspection, unlike other brands these
products promote ‘life’ as opposed to ‘life-style’.
The display presents typical ranges found in any high street shop including,
a cosmetic range, a household cleaning range and an outdoor products section.
In this case however the source of all these products is cow manure. An
item generally disregarded and considered worthless now becomes elevated
to an item of practical use. The labels to these products include the customary
‘instructions for use’, yet in addition there is a set of instructions
for how to make them, stories of how the use of these ingredients came about
and also alternative energy proposals. Thus, the product suggests to the
consumer a more pro-active role and embraces the qualities associated with
the spread of knowledge through communities. The attached price tags to
these items indicate they are not exchangeable for money. It is intended
that these products may be exchanged instead for local knowledge, ideas
or
homemade products. In this respect it aims to challenge established value
systems and is suggestive of an alternative economy.
