beer cans, wires, and a wheel trim
Can you guess what it is?
What on earth could it be? From here it just looks like a collection of pipes and tubes....hmm, what else is there....is that a broom? Bits of wood.....
OK, so now we have a basketball, and what looks like some beer cans......any the wiser?
From here we can see a load more beer cans, wires, a wheel trim and, among other things, a circuit board......
Got it?
No, it's not a new product from Microsoft......
....that's right, it's.......
A LOAD OF RUBBISH.
But it's also a bit more than that.
Here's another clue....
Osaka's main river, the Yodogawa.
Yes, all that rubbish is part of Aqua Metropolis Osaka 2009, where the city's rivers have been revitalised by getting all the crap out of them. This has then been used to make some rather fetching sculptures....
a rubbish fish in osaka
This little number was made with rubbish pulled from the Yodogawa and Osaka Bay.
I guess it's a celebration of all the gunk people throw in, for without it, this wonderful piece of art could never have been created.
So when it comes to garbage, we can conclude that the people of Osaka either:
a) religiously recycle it, separate it, and carefully divide it between boxes, bags and bins marked for burnables, non-burnables, plastics, non-plastics, cans, bottles, non-bottles, PET bottles, glass bottles, ten green bottles, paper, card, electrical equipment, magazines and newspapers,
or
b) chuck it in the river
If it does go in the river, this is what may come out - a kind of mutant man-eating bevvied-up beer-canned underwater monster, seen below as it was caught in the act of devouring its final victim....
Whoever was wearing this jacket got a nasty surprise when they opted for b)

although I have to admit - it's a bit of a shame with regard to how it came about

Whoa, is that an alarm clock for an eye? I can understand hating your alarm in the morning, but throwing it into Osaka bay...?
