There were a few things the framers left out when drafting the now crusty, but majestic, legal document we know as the Bill of Rights—that is, the inalienable right of any human being to place their belongings anyplace they damn well please when comes its obsolescence.

When I’m done with something, I throw it to the side of the nearest public-adopted highway or the shore of the closest dolphin-infested ocean. That’s just how I roll. The vast majority of sane primates may call it littering, but I call it relocation of antiquated objects.

Of these sane, one man is on a mission to also call it like he sees it. To Nico van Hoorn—artist, self-professed environmentalist and Netherlander—illegal trash dumping isn’t only illegal, it’s also a crime. His latest project, cleverly dubbed “Illegal Trash Dumping Is a Crime,” goes a step further than merely turning a nose up at non-receptacle-dwelling rubbish—it challenges the very conventions that define what it means to be a hyper-waste-producing species.

“What can one say to selfish people who are not willing to think about the environment? (Littering) is a common problem in the Netherlands. Although, some cities are cleaner than others,” Van Hoorn said.

And…? That’s exactly the way it is in the United States. If you mind sunbathing next to used condoms or old syringes in a cesspool of hepatitis, move out of New Jersey…or develop a healthy heroin addiction.

Of course, Van Hoorn has a different opinion.

“As an artist I am not living in an ivory tower, I am aware of things that bother me that I would like to change,” says Van Hoorn. “The idea of ‘Illegal Trash Dumping Is a Crime’ really needed to be worked out, so I made a crime scene out of what (trash) came across me and I took photographs of it.”
