Street Report 1 - Public Bins

This first title by Atelier HOKO (Alvin Ho and Clara Koh) in the Street Report publication series looks at one of the most ubiquitous yet unobserved objects in the streets of Singapore. Atelier HOKO’s encounters with public bins reveal how unexpected or “improper” use or interactions, no matter how minor, are rich areas for study and observation, sometimes humorously so. This well describes the role of a street reporter, to make sense of phenomena on the streets and find delight and meaning in doing so.
