Barbie® Breasts
The ... er ... "sculpture" of breasts on the left is made up of 32,000 discarded Barbie® dolls "equal to the number of elective breast augmentation surgeries performed monthly in the US in 2006". It's by photographer Chris Jordan (title link) who turns rubbish into art, which makes a change from turning art into rubbish. Chris is one of 18 photographers shortlisted for the inaugural $100,000 Prix Pictet award for sustainability (CLICK). I'll take your word for the stats, Chris. Gosh! That's 384,000 silicon tits per year! Green thought: Can they be recycled?
