One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Troll
Thomas Dambo’s is trolling…
He makes giant trolls out of trash, hides them in woods for people to find, by Cathy Free, Washington Post, July 9, 2024
“My ultimate goal is to have trolls surprising people in every state,” said Thomas Dambo, whose latest project is in Detroit Lakes, Minn.
Thomas Dambo was rummaging through a city dump in Minnesota when he stumbled on perfection: large yellow plastic bins that had been tossed by a tool manufacturing company.
“They were perfect for the rabbit,” said Dambo, a Danish artist, who reached out to the company to request the rest of their discarded bins.
Dambo gathered the trash and hauled in about 25 tons of scrap wood, then brought together 300 volunteers in Detroit Lakes, Minn., to make gargantuan outdoor public art.
Working together, they built five enormous trolls and a looming golden rabbit that was accented with salvaged wiper-blade whiskers and motorcycle helmets for eyes. The supersize artworks — ranging in height from 16 to 42 feet — were then hidden in forested parks around the city. Read more here.
