Product Description

The book presents an extensive collection of found photographs that showcase home appliances and objects that have become obsolete. These are tools or everyday objects on the edge of usefulness, arranged by amateurs and photographed against a background. Taken from the Serbian sell-it-yourself website (very similar to the German classifieds), the photographs capture an aesthetic phenomenon under special socio-economic conditions and mark the transition of a society from socialism to capitalism. By researching the gray market area, the book questions the understanding of added value and waste.
