Bacteria are everywhere. Firstly, when they were discovered, people were afraid of them. Then we learned how to properly dispose them. Now we drink them, eat them, smear on our bodies, which only benefit from it. But is the nature benefit?? When billions of plastic empty bottles as a new biological weapon attack the Earth? Are we so blind and cannot find how to deal with the waves of garbage that is beautiful in its own way? Hundreds of people were designing these bottles, attractive ergonomic packaging, that we put into our shopping baskets without thinking. So probably we can give new life to these lovely bottles and jars: turn them into giant plastic prototypes of the very small bacteria, which gave lives to hundreds of different forms of plastic! The inversion of the tiny to giant, visualization of «under a microscope science» and turning it into the large park sculptures and lamps made of thousands of tiny glowing packages - that is the idea of the project BACTERIUS YOGURTUS 2.
