In  the outskirts of the Kosovar city of Gjakova, a  group of Roma kids live with their families in a slum built over a  garbage dump. Moved after the war, they survive by sorting through and  selling recyclable trash. Neither Kosovar nor Serbian, this ethnic group  has always been shunned. These Roma children only know life in the  dump, a poisoned and diseased playground.

Standing still, a brigade of trash cans look like armoured soldiers lined up in form on the board walk. They wear distinct uniforms, a mix of colours, textures and patterns, each one different from the other. In their amazing outfits, they preserve our trash, giving us a glimpse of today's habits and taste.
