Waste Not

A few pix from chinese artist Song Dong's installation at MOMA titled Waste Not. It's the complete contents of his mother's house over the last 50 yrs. It's an interesting an idea and visually appealing to see objects set up so neatly in rows etc outside of a house setting. I overheard one person exclaiming its too much stuff and that all this couldn't possibly come from one woman in China's house. Meanwhile the average American house would have 10x more than that. over 50yrs? it wouldn't even fit in the museum. I didn't think it seemed like alot esp for the time span. I think its just harder to visualize since its out of context.
