Sealed garbage skip built by inmates in Trondheim Prison, Norway.

"For his graduation project Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (2006), [Per-Oskar] Leu hired inmates in a Norwegian prison to build a "Trojan Horse" in the shape of a hermetically sealed garbage container. By capturing a piece of confined space and transporting it out of the correctional institution, the artist alluded to the idea of escape while examining the prison economy and issues of forced labour."

Leu´s show "Like A Dog" is currently on at UKS, Norway.
