Litter only Litter only - a book about dustbins is a worldwide typology of the public dustbin. "The Paris designer Philippe Starck once claimed in a radio interview that when he comes to a new place he has not been there before, the first thing he does is go for a walk near his hotel, pick a full dustbin, carry it into his room, empty it on the bed and go through its contents in order to learn about the people, their place and the culture. For Starcks Berlin colleague, Alexandra Martini, 29, the form of the container is enough. Martini photographed public dustbins in 30 countries and all continents in order to catch the "little difference"... For sure is: Whoever has held this book in his hands, will never again throw waste into a bin, without noticing it." © DER SPIEGEL 07/2001 Könemann Verlag, Köln 2000, ISBN
