Working work on the pledge system: property rethought!

Working work on the pledge system: property rethought!

From January 1, 2025, a new deposit system for disposable PET bottles and aluminum boxes will come into force in Austria. This regulation is intended to protect resources and at the same time promote recycling. The Antau artist Thomas Sailer reacts to this change with his new work of art "property". Through his work, he illustrates the problem of ownership of the property for disposable packaging. "You pay the production of the packaging, so you are your property," explains Sailer, but points out that throwing away the bottle is now being interpreted as additional costs. As an artist, he would like to initiate the social discourse on the property and the rage of regulation, as meinbezirk.at

The topic of ownership in focus

In the context of his work, Sailer addresses more far -reaching questions: How does our understanding of property in a world change in regulation and bureaucracy? "However, circular economy may only begin at the point where we voluntarily dispose of our property," explains the artist. He criticizes the tendency towards rental and abom models that question private ownership. This reflects a deeper need for freedom and control over one's own property, for Sailer for years. Sailer, born on August 4, 1987, is not only an artist, but also a writer and leisure pioneer, known for his novels and non -fiction books, who also address the pursuit of freedom and fulfillment, such as thomassailer.com

His latest work is not only a reaction to the pledge system, but also a call to critical examination of one's own consumer attitude and the effects of legal regulations on individual property. With “property”, Thomas Sailer impressively shows how art can serve as a mouthpiece for social issues and invites you to think about the changes in our perception of property.
