I have just recently (belatedly) discovered this on the website of The Photographers' Gallery, London - a whole series of images of
plastic bags in all kinds of locations. Plastic bags are an interesting combination of instability and semi-permanence; they are flimsy, unstable, usually unsuited to their primary purpose, and yet made of a material that persists and accumulates. And we encounter them everywhere, they almost become a kind of architectural language. Here are two from my own collection, seen in the streets of Bergen.
