Carless, Tonia

Abstract

Carless takes on the notion of ‘gleaning’, the activity of searching through debris to find things that can be re-used and incorporated into anything new – in her case, primarily architectural renovations. …
She does this by basing her ideas on Agnes Varda’s film, The Gleaners and I, using it to question the nature of capitalism as a consumer-led economy, on the one hand, and to open up the possibility of seeing design as a work of activism, on the other.
This is primarily examined through the presentation of design proposals that use the intellectual framework of gleaning and Varda’s film as their guide lines…
