Does any one know of early metalized plastic cutlery articles predating Aug 2002? Thanks!

Someone has definitely mistaken onions for garlic.

While Enzo Mari project transform a bottle ( container) in to a vessel (container) , Oscar Diaz project transform the bottle into a tool.
Can Enzo Mari use any bottle? Yes, even if you don’t cut it, you can use a bottle as a vase. Can Diaz use any bottle? No, and without cutting it would be difficult to use as a fork.
We can recognize Enzo’s previous vase life, but It would be difficult to guess where the cutlery came from without seen the bottles.
Then, is the coating which covers the plastic increasing its perceived value and performance. The only similarity is that they start from a bottle but the end and purpose is completely different.

Please keep the great work!

Great work Oscar,

Really interesting observations. Although I wouldn’t use them, I can see your project generating great debates.
