Lovely and humorous white-on-red-paper print by Kyle Kargov: “Carrion (from the Latin ‘caro’, meaning ‘meat’) refers to the carcass of a dead animal. A carnivorous homage to the classic 1939 World War II poster: Keep Calm and Carry On.”

Oliver Bourne explains of this lead receipt: “The objective of this project is to highlight how much packaging is used in a weekly shop and to encourage people to really think about recycling and the products they buy. To achieve this I weighed all the packaging waste from one of my weekly shops and reconfigured the shopping receipt to show the weight of each piece of packaging waste instead of its price. The total of the waste amounted to 2,840g [6.2 lb], this is also the actual weight of the lead receipt.”
