Keith Arnatt is a British artist who, like the previous two artists, has documented waste and rubbish from personal experience/ visiting rubbish dumps. Arnatt’s series of images titled ‘Rubbish Tip 1988-9’ were taken using plastic sheeting and plastic bags as the backdrop with selected objects as the focus, giving a more stylised approach to the series. The plastic sheeting was used to support the lighting of each images dimming the natural light creating a faded effect that accentuated the bright colourings of each focus object. 

The composition of each image is slightly different to show the purity of the subject however was stylised using the sheets of plastic to ensure there is consistency. Similar to Chris Jordan, Arnatt considered aspects like affecting the lighting to make his images unrecognisable; making the viewer completely engage with his work. As Rubbish Tip was released in 1988, the format of his imagery is film, which provides the series with a more dynamic silhouette. With digital camera creating more vivid colours like in Harley Weird work, the film creates a more muted image which I think works well. Using film to convey sustainability and waste in today’s society would allow the strong social identifiers to be the focal point for the imagery with the film contrasting this.
