ba(N)g! encourages voluntary shift to embrace an eco-conscious lifestyle.
ba(N)g! symbolises the excessive use of plastic bags in Singapore, made entirely of plastic bags donated from offices, shops and institutions, which would otherwise have been discarded. Techniques of knitting, stuffing and weaving transform the donations into colourful pouffes, complementing the existing street furniture. This informal setting creates a pause to contemplate the kinetic garlands, showing how the uncontrolled use of plastic bags can eventually have harmful environmental consequences.
This participatory initiative aims to be one of the small steps on the journey towards a plastic-free planet, encouraging a voluntary shift to embrace an eco-conscious lifestyle.
