During six months Mascha Mioni collected red-white TEXAID plastic bags, (which are used to collect second hand cloth from households, to give to charity) from friends and acquaintances and cut them in stripes to knit them with thick needles into tissues of different size.
Carlos Rieder has photographed these recycled bags in an installation in the fotostudio of simon+kim, Kriens. (werbefotografie.ch)

The installation shown here is 18 feet wide, 9 feet deep and 10 feet high.

In an exhibition it will be adapted to the site, which will result in a new installation of art.
