June 2019

 

Particulate Matter is a conceptual “parking ticket" for blowing dust into the air. The parking ticket is an intervention to draw attention to air pollution. On the front of the parking ticket the are several options of penatly:

 

-one week without driving the car

-installing a new filter

-changing the driving behavior

-pay a fine.

 

On the back, There is a sample of a dust imprint attached. Also on back, there is a QR code that leads to the instagram page #particulatematter. 

 

 

Process

First I made an Imprint of the dusty objects arround busy streets of Zurich. Then I scan them and increased the contrast with photoshop. I also manipulate the original penalty paper and addust the layout to my intention.
