Arman elevated everyday refuse and discarded objects into sculptural accumulations, directly paralleling Faldbakken's use of garbage bags as legitimate artistic material. Both artists interrogate consumer waste and the aesthetic potential of detritus within a conceptual framework.

Manzoni provocatively used humble and abject materials to challenge traditional notions of artistic value, much like Faldbakken's deployment of garbage bags as monochromatic minimal objects. Both share a conceptual strategy of transforming the mundane into a critical commentary on art and consumption.

Danh Vo works with found and discarded materials to create spare, conceptually charged installations that question meaning and materiality, closely mirroring Faldbakken's minimalist approach. Both artists favor understated presentation of everyday objects to generate layered conceptual and cultural meaning.
