Albatross Exhibitionist

Albatros Exhibitionist: After the film Plastic Planet came out we did some more research concerning this huge drifting plastic currents in the oceans and what it´s causing to the marine life and seabirds. We saw this horrible pictures of dead Albatroses with open stomacks full of plastic on Midway Island and we had the plan for our new Skeleton Sea artwork. So as we were planning a trip to Kenia doing a new project together with Uniqueco, we decided to stay longer and realize the Albatros there as well. Together with a sealife conservation group in Musambweni we organized a beach cleaning first. Around 40 school kids and group members helped us to clean a long beach in front of the village. After 2 hours everyone had a full bag of trash and we returned to the conservation center, selecting the trash. Almost a 100% of the trash was plastics, mostly pat bottles, caps, plastic bags and a huge amount of flip flop's. Only a view aluminium cans and some rusty iron was found. We did a selection what an Albatros can accidently eat, thinking its fish. Lighters, pens, flipflop parts, plastic caps, small plastic bags, nylon nets, combs, toothbrushes, plastic shaver, little plastic balls, injections, plastic tubes, all kind of plastic pieces from bigger items, fishing lines, etc. Now a new challenge for us was to build the Albatross with almost no tools in the garden of the groups center. We brought 2 machines, a welding machine and an angle grinder, that's it. The Kenians did not even had one tool for us, so we managed to buy a knife, a hammer and luckily I brought my leatherman what never got so much used then here in Kenia. The locals showed us how to fix things without screws or glue using strings from rubber tyres which we found or how to melt plastic together using heated iron from a fireplace. After a week the Albatros was finished and we packed it in a box, ready to send home.
