Thomas Dambo - Trash Trolls and Treasure Hunts
Trash, Trolls and Treasure Hunts by Thomas Dambo invites readers into the unlikely journey of a Danish dumpster diver who transformed his passion for repurposing waste into a global troll-hunting phenomenon. Spanning 440 pages, the book brings together photographs, stories, and poems documenting the creation of his first 100 giant troll sculptures—works that have drawn millions of people away from their screens and into the natural world.
Known as one of the world’s leading recycle artists, Dambo’s work is rooted in a lifelong curiosity for the overlooked—once the kid climbing through bushes and digging through trash, now an artist building monumental installations from discarded materials. This book traces that evolution, offering an inside look at how he and his team, alongside thousands of volunteers, scavenged more than 250 tons of scrap wood to construct a sprawling “trolliverse” across 17 countries (and counting).
Blending storytelling, original poems, fairy tales, and behind-the-scenes insights, Trash, Trolls and Treasure Hunts reflects Dambo’s mission to reframe waste as a resource. By turning trash into treasure and sending people on real-world treasure hunts to find his work, he encourages a deeper appreciation for what we throw away—and challenges the culture of single-use consumption.
