Rebel With A Cause reflects the journey of a T-Shirts. The small peace of cloth has some stories to tell. During production it travels long distances, up to 40 000 km. And in the end we buy it for a couple of bucks. This imbalance is become greater over time. As the washing, ironing and wearing of clothes is a constantly repetitive process, the ecological backpack grows steadily. The ecological backpack is a term describing however many kilos of resources are actually necessary in order to produce a product. That includes production, transport and daily use. After a while we through it away and the second journey begins. As used clothes it ends up in Africa, where its called Mitumba: the shirt of the dead whites. Meaning that they can‘t understand how someone can no longer find need for something sonew and throw it away.
