Twenty-nine tonnes of carrots have been dumped outside a London university as part of an art project highlighting food wastage.
Grounding, a piece by Spanish-Welsh artist Rafael Perez Evans, was installed by a large lorry outside the Ben Pimlott building at Goldsmiths College in New Cross, part of the University of London. The artist said the vegetables, which will eventually be collected as animal feed, were rejected by supermarkets.Since its installation on Tuesday, many students were seen climbing the orange pile to take photos and some took carrots home to eat."But I knew this is very Goldsmiths, and all that was left was to understand what it meant," she said.
According to Mr Perez Evans's website, the artwork explores"the tensions in visibility between the rural and the city", and was inspired by European farmers dumping produce as a protest.
What a waste. 😱😱
Highlighting food waste by creating more waste?

So how would the artist suggest they promote awareness of murder, by killing people? Or racism, by being racist?
That’s the least of their worries, they’ll need pest control before long.
I’m going to stab 20 teenagers to highlight knife crime 🤷♂️
So let's waste more food in the name of art
Dumping food to highlight food wastage. Ffs this is being ridiculous. Thanos, it's time to come
Am I reading this right? Wasting food to raise awareness about wasting food. What a 'genius'!
Absolutely scandalous.
What a waste!
orange in among us be like
LMAO holy shit what a humongous waste of food
Self-awareness level: lefty campaigner/activist
Eh, and these are supposed to be the brightest of us .. So here we have an art project highlighting food wastage.... by wasting food, 🤣 and lots of it too... The only way i can forgive them, is because they used carrots, most hated veg on the planet, well apart from sprouts. 🤣
How does wasting real food hilight the problem. Wouldn't it be better to have a pile of oversized dinner plates?
Interesting use of the word 'art'. I'd call it 'fly tipping'. Much sexier.
The irony. The lack of self-awareness. I want to laugh but the waste, the obscene, wanton waste. Just think how many soffritos, mirepoix or carrot cakes could have been made from twenty-nine T's of carrots. Just think of all those meals that could have been conjured up.
They still could've been donated. But I suppose someone desperately needed to pass a class, so oh well.
Plenty of donkeys there to eat them !!
I'm going set fire to the amazon rain forest to bring awareness to the wild fires in cali

'The Arts Sector is on it's knees' Oh, yeah?
What kind of art is this? Enormous waste! Could have given to poor hungry families. Could have given to war torn countries, refugees camps....
Why am I not surprised that it was at Goldsmiths 🙄
Yeah that’s not art. Makes you glad that there aren’t student grants anymore.
Buy what about Julian Assange.
Very bad news for night vision eye-wear companies
