Muniz initially planned to paint their portraits with the garbage, but instead he worked with them to create enormous photographs of each person from materials in the dump. This major mid-career retrospective canvasses more than twenty-five years of Munizs work to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, reminding us of the power of art to surprise, delight, and transform our perceptions of the world. The use of garbage as a material draws attention to global patterns of exploitation that produce both the waste itself and the poverty of the garbage pickers. Even though the work was a departure from Muniz's use of photography, it maintained his common theme of pinpointing the relationship between illusion and perception. After losing it, Muniz decided to undergo a process of recreation via drawing exercises. Podesta has recently donated The Best of LIFE (1989, printed 1995) by Vik Muniz (b.
