How often do you change to a new phone? And what do you do with your electronics when they stop functioning? Contacts For Potential Clients is a project concerning today’s view on material value. The installation is site specific, based on recycled plexi-showcases from the phone company Tele2. The material was thrown out on the street early 2015 during a renovation of the Tele2 store at Götgatan, Stockholm. One could find everything from televisions, Ipads and expensive interiors, some were fully functioning and others were clearly broken by careless handling during the removal. It all came along with commercial posters of their offers, intertwined with pictures of nature.
