Module 2 Fantasy Literature 同步练习 阅读理解 German artist HA Schulte is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schulte. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of us.” Here， Schulte was talking about his 1，000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. “They are social sculptures，” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far， Schulte’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris， in Moscow’s Red Square， on the Great Wall of China， and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.

We are not important. All that is important is the time in which we are living.” Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art？ Maybe it’s because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn’t， or who artists are or should be. You can be an artist like Schulte if you try. Look at used metal cans. Imagine them in any number of new uses， or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing？ Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing？ Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers. 1.
