    About the Book

    Edit

    Flush is the documentation of an ongoing project to recover plastic cordial containers washed ashore on the banks of the Yarra River, Port Melbourne. I have been searching for, finding and collecting these containers since 1990. So far I have found over 40 different designs including kangaroos, koalas, guns, hand-grenades and missiles. I scan these items at high resolution. The files are then output as chromogenic prints and exhibited. I am still finding containers bearing the fluid ounce markings in 2011 even though imperial measures were phased out in Australia in 1974. This indicates that they could have been ‘floating’ in the environment for almost four decades. The scans of over 40 plastic cordial containers are reproduced in this volume.

    About the Creator

    Mimmo Cozzolino
    Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

    I am an Italian born, Australian designer, author, photographer and artist. As well as designing my own books, I design books for others. My enduring interest is photographic autobiography, not simply in the form of self-portraits, but as more widely expressed in all activities of a lived life. My work privileges the visual over the textual because I believe that images speak to us in important and different ways than words. Western culture, on the other hand, tends to privilege text. The aphorism ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, could here be more usefully reframed as ‘a picture can show us uniquely what one thousand words can’t’.
