Bring me home, please

Spent the day at the Salone del Mobile and will first blog about something i haven't spotted in the streets yet.

A series of black garbage bags have been left in front of the Milan's palaces, outside cool venues where people go to party after the Salone, etc.
But those are Luxury Garbage, they bear the label of famous fashion designers. It's a social experiment as much as an art piece: will people try to take them and bring them home, trade a Dolce & Gabbana bags against a Gucci one? Fight over a rare Bulgari bag? How will react the brands that have been selected to appear on garbage?

By Mr. Garbage, aka Cristiano Seganfreddo, in collaboration with Fuoribiennale.

hahaha, so you just paste on luxury names like prada and gucci on random trash bags and hope for a reaction? it sounds like lots of fun, wish i coulda thought about it, but you did give me an idea for a different type of experiment. if i am missing the point in what you are doing please correct me, it seems interesting either way
