\nIt seems that yesterday\u2019s leaves are being replaced by today\u2019s garbage in the streets. This garbage is turning into a natural feature of our environment, we become more familiar with a coke can or McDonalds wrapping than with leaves of the few trees in the cities. This garbage, Urban garbage, is becoming our next nature. It is invading our streets like a modern tumbleweed, effectively creating a phenomenon known as Urban Tumbleweed.<\/p>\n

D\u00fcsseldorf vs Eindhoven<\/h2>\n
This Urban Tumbleweed creates a footprint of a city. To illustrate this footprint, Urban Tumbleweeds were constructed using genuine trash from the streets of both D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong> and Eindhoven<\/strong>. Though the results appear similar, they offer a lot of detail when being observed from a closer perspective. Urban Tumbleweed is a collaboration of: Guus Baggermans<\/a>, Brian Garret Schuur<\/a> and Jan van der Asdonk.<\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n completed in:<\/strong> October, 2008 An art object created as a statement for Next Nature<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all","category-product"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":83,"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1933,"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/1933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janvanderasdonk.com\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nIn the end the question remains: what would Urban Tumbleweed from another continent look like?
