Recycling and reusing unwanted household objects and products is becoming more popular among environmentally-savvy artists. This latest offering is part of a Nike exhibition – as the label-conscious may have guessed – entitled ‘5 Icons, 5 Remixers’.

Dunk sculpture pictured here was created for the gallery area in Nike’s new Berlin outlet by local artist, Sarah Illenberger. Five other German artists worked on five separate art pieces for the project, which can be viewed here.
