Perhaps, for this reason, the friendliest place in Dornach is the recycling and disposal station \u2039Ramstel\u203a. Here everyone seems to be in a good mood when they free themselves from things on Saturdays \u2013 iron to iron, paper to paper.

Thomas Rau is interested in the end of things&#8217; lives when no one needs them anymore, and here too he dreams of the cycle, dreams of new birth. To do this, things must be returned to raw materials, become young, and be led into their \u2039stadium nascendi\u203a. The garbage dumps and landfills are transformed from final repositories into places of development, and the good mood of the cycle of things spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong> Jon Moore, unsplash &#8211; Translation: Monika Werner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are 10,000 things in every household &#8211; that&#8217;s how it is often said.
