Jean-Frédéric Schnyder used banana boxes to build a skyscraper, several sacred buildings, two single-family housing developments, and one set of ruins. In so doing, he embraced the economic principle of zero waste. First, he made the skyscraper, using the handle holes in the boxes to define the size of the windows. He used the leftover material to build churches; what then remained became a neat row of single-family homes; and the final remnants became a city in ruins. The cardboard sculptures are neither mod-els nor exact replicas. They are familiar building types, which Schnyder ironically associates with such ideals as profitability, spirituality, individuality, or sustainability. He has borrowed his titles – DO NOT DROP OR TURN UPSIDE DOWN, HANDLE WITH CARE, REUSE OF THIS BOX IS PROHIBITED – BY LAW and KEEP AT 58°F OR 14°C – from lettering commonly seen on banana boxes, which were long popular in Switzerland for transporting personal items when moving to a new home. Shipping crates for art, on the other hand, are among the most expensive in the international logistics arena. In this respect, Schnyder’s choice of cheap material is a witty reversal: he has resurrected the box as a work of art.
