About

‘Carnival, side "b" from "basura" (trash)’ "Santa Cruz I want you dirty" is a series of activist art photographs which demonstrates the enormous amount of waste generated during the traditional Spanish-style carnival in Tenerife. ZiREjA captures the impact of the human footprint; this after-party of rubbish marks the physical impact of the party goers’ ‘harmless fun’ on the streets of Tenerife. There is a theatrical quality to the scenes of figures, still dressed in their costumes, amongst the residue of rubbish. She also talks about the recycling campaign and the way the waste is managed by the government.
