His subjects are highly topical both regarding content with respect to social and urban-planning visions, and also formally as they cross the borders between fine art and applied design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor over thirty years, the sculptor Winfried Baumann has focused his attention on the ecological problems which are increasingly advancing to become a question of survival for civilised society. Refuse, slag from the burning of refuse, waste oil, and other waste products from our consumer society are materials which he has been using since the mid-1980s for his three-dimensional works and large-scale installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his very extensive group of works \u003cem\u003eCathedrals for Garbage\u003c\/em\u003e, Winfried Baumann examines, for example, waste-disposal plants for large urban spaces, with the protection and marking of nuclear contaminated sites, waste-disposal facilities for large urban spaces, and intermediate urban spaces, and with the subject of urban mining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455880937708,"sku":"9783777426136","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777426136.jpg?v=1774863074","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/winfried-baumann-cathedrals-for-garbage-9783777426136","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
