THE ART OF RECYCLING

A . Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways . his art , Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives ? even their own garbage .

B . In 2007 , Muniz worked on a two - year project at one of the largest in the world . Until its closure in 2012 , Jardim Gramacho received about 70 percent of the garbage from Rio de Janeiro . 3 , 000 garbage pickers , known as catadores , worked there . Their job was to hunt through the garbage for recyclable cans , bottles , and other materials . They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies .

C . The catadores' work was dirty and , and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day . the hard conditions , many catadores were proud of their work . Valter dos Santos , a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years , told Muniz : " I am proud to be a picker . I try to explain to people [ that recycling prevents ] great harm to nature and the . People sometimes say , 'But one single [ soda ] can ? ' One single can is of great importance ! [ T ] hat single can will make the difference . "

D . Muniz became friends with dos Santos and other catadores . They him to take their photographs at the landfill , where they posed for artistic portaits . For example , Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting , The Death of Marat . The workers then helped Muniz create images of these photos on the floor of his studio . They used material from the landfill to add color and to the images .

E . Why create such huge images using garbage ? Muniz says he wanted to " change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day . " A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for £28 , 000 ( $50 , 000 ) at a London art . Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers' organization .

F . In 2010 , British - Brazilian director Lucy Walker created a movie about Muniz's project called Waste . The film received many awards and helped make people of the garbage collectors' lives . The catadores also began to see themselves differently . " Sometimes we see ourselves as so small , " says Irma , a cook at Gramacho , " but people out there see us as so big , so beautiful . "
