Tamarit links together the two ideas of recycling and collage in many ways with his work, ranging from collages of the city, to furniture assembled from different sources. The city collages re-imagine how we experience the city, gone are people, streets, cars and any desirable space within the city itself, all that remains are towers and stacks of buildings merged together to create an economically spaced unit.
His work with sculpture, looks at the re use of wood and objects, e.g. books to create furniture which serves a purpose, or retains a function. This is a really interesting way to look at recycling a book, as usually it it is turned into new paper etc., but here it serves a new function generating thoughts as to how one can re invent everyday objects, what determines their function? How would we use a book if we could not read, or had never seen one before?
