For only $25, you too could have owned “collectible” garbage from the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding. (New York Daily News)
Artist Justin Gignac picked up trash from outside Madison Square Garden. Then carefully packed the waste into transparent boxes. Each is stamped with “JUST&T MARRIED! 7/3/26.”
Justin Gignac pitched his product as “100% authentic. Hand-picked from the fertile streets of NY, NY.” The Swifties bought every box. A few of the items he got off the streets and gutters outside Madison Square Garden include one left AirPod, an ovulation test kit, a ring pop, plastic utensils, bottle caps, a rainbow fan and cigarette butts.
Justin Gignac admitted that what started years ago as a joke has evolved into an art project with a focus on overconsumption. (HyperAllergic)
