Osman Özel, Photographer, Berlin

Description

This photograph by Berlin-based photographer Osman Ozel features a massive, tightly compressed bale of used blue denim garments stacked high on a wooden shipping pallet. The pile of jeans displays various washes and textures of indigo and blue fabric, secured with white straps. The structure rests directly on a worn concrete floor against a simple, industrial concrete wall. Overlaying the scene in bold white typography is text reading SAMSØE SAMSØE. The composition is straightforward and documentary in style, highlighting the raw materiality of recycled clothing.
