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.

On her travels she discovered she was much more passionate about the environment than she realised – although never quite got the whole tree-hugging thing – and has always had a penchant for the unconventional and creative side of life, so working at Environmental Graffiti suits her just fine.
