The Anthropocene is an unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. In the past 60 years in particular, human impacts have unfolded at a fast rate and scale. Carbon emissions, global warming, habitat destruction, extinction and more are all signs that we have significantly modified our planet.

Anthropocene photography works on displaying the effects of humans on the Earth. Anthropocene photographers create images based on pollution and waste, the destruction of nature and large man-made structures. Anthropocene photography is heavily rooted in political views on climate change.
The Anthropocene Project is a integrative body of work combining fine art photography, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, and scientific research to investigate human influence on the state, dynamic, and future of the Earth.
