Collecting scrap is crucial for the survival of Roma and immigrant people. What they find is both “a treasure and a mistress”. For six years, Christos Karakepelis documented how the search for scrap is the only way of making a living for these groups. A cautionary tale of how a new precariat is engaged in an activity worth a lot to the industry but almost nothing to those providing the “raw material”.
