Footage reveals mounds of plastic refuse cascading from a colossal wooden steed, surrounded by banner-waving Greenpeace demonstrators . Pedestrians halt to record the six-metre structure outside Konyaaltı’s municipal offices, an allegory of the mythical Trojan Horse designed to highlight the latent environmental cost of polymers , while local sanitation teams clear rubbish from a neighbouring stretch of coast. Produced in partnership with Danish artist Thomas Dambo , the piece targets plastic contamination and the fossil-fuel companies driving its output. According to activist Berk Butan, the sculpture demonstrates how plastics serve as the petrochemical industry's "Trojan Horse", embedding themselves seamlessly into modern life.
