Jalan Cempaka 16 Cigarette Butts Condition Report
Variable sizes
2019




1/5
Exhibited at Gerak Geri, HOM Art Trans,Ampang
Jalan cempaka 16 is the main street to enter the studio and gallery, with cigarette butts littering the street. Cigarette butts can reduce harm to smokers when smoking but are easily discarded by them after a single use, thus losing value as an object. The artist collected them and went through a process of disinfecting, bonding and coating the objects to preserve their original quality.
These meticulously preserve cigarette butts reflect the condition of Jalan Cempaka 16, functioning as a condition report for the street. The process of collecting and documenting them provides the artist with a means to engage the locals, and amplifying the impact of their habit.
