Hoarding As An Art Form: Song Dong's "Waste Not"
by Alex Pasternack, New York, NY"...Chinese artist Song Dong's "Waste Not," an installation at the Museum of Modern Art made up of most of the objects obsessively collected by the artist's mother over a half a century in her Beijing apartment.

I think there's beauty even in those considered to have hoarding compulsive disorders. It would be interesting to take on a similar project with someone here in the states. ... perhaps myself! :)
Note: I asked the universe for installation ideas and they're begining to roll in!!!
