FLIP FLOP
FLIP FLOP
Diederik Schneemann, NLD, 2011
Flip-flops. A sole, a V-shaped strap. Done. And thus very cheap. Worn on the beach and by water, where they are then often left behind, washed away and then washed up again. Then collected. Glued together and cut into the shapes of lamps, baskets and small items of furniture.
