Flip Flop 13, Saadani Beach, Tanzania, 2014

Flip Flop 13 is from the series Môr Plastig (plastic sea) which is a forensic photographic study of plastic objects that have washed up on the west coast of Wales, and more recently, further afield. Perry photographs the objects one to one, straight on to camera with flat, neutral light, capturing the effect of natural processes on the surfaces of industrially produced materials. In these images the objects become poignant symbols of the entanglement – both literal and metaphorical – of human consumption, waste and nature.
