This book compiles works from some of the most inspired artists of our time, those who have managed to create art out of just about anything and who have managed to find magic in the ordinary.

The book's central thesis is the examination of how artists recontextualize, assemble, or modify everyday items - from kitchen utensils and plastic waste to clothing and furniture - to challenge the viewer's perception and elevate the ordinary into the realm of the extraordinary. The volume serves as a visual anthology, showcasing the work of 26 international artists. Through high-quality photographs of sculptures, installations, and assemblages, the book delves into several key themes prevalent in modern art such as: - consumer culture and waste; - memory and domesticity; - perception and materiality.
