Recyclable Refugee Camp is a mobile living unit made of biological polyesters. It consists of structures such as shelters, latrines and fountains. R.R.C. is built in conformity with the regulations of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. The material is an organic mix of dried hemp and resin with a natural colour pigment. After a set date the camp will degrade and become a fertile compost. There is no need to remove the sites and by spreading new installments the surrounding ecosystems are never overburdend. RRC is an inexpensive, easy and nature-friendly product for humanitarian interventions. But rather than being a worthy solution for grave matters it tackles the ethical imperative that encourages art to intervene in the world. It is a critical reflection about the truce between art and morality, an ironic attempt to make a 100% ethical correct art-piece. Recyclable Refugee Camp probes the derailment of contemporary hyper-ethics in arts and beyond. As a kind of new form of art: the A-social art.
