objet trouvé // the found object
'The found object' is generally understood to be a thing not usually regarded as art, but which is aesthetically pleasing.
I suggest it does not have to be so easy on the eye.
Adapt this theme to suit yourself; it is not just for the artists. Let your imagination wander around the detritus of the city or the country. See what you can find tucked away in the rotten corners and beneath the untouched stones. Find that which lurks and beat it into submission.
