Anthropocene refers to the earths latest geological time period which is that of the affect of humans on the environment and earths ecosystem. Humanity has had drastic effects on the earths climate such as animal extinctions – The Anthropocene was a project started where artists- photographers, filmmakers ect could make responses to climate change and Anthropocene. For my project I decided to focus on plastics and how we are so reliant and so used to using and seeing plastic everywhere.
initial ideas
-post covid
-population density buildings-apartments offices- night photography
– plastic waste – plastic bottle colidescope??
My initial plan for the Anthropocene project was to look at the after math of Covid – masks and signs left over. I found a lot of that in Edinburgh and other cities ( old vaccination centre signs left in shopping enters) but jersey didn’t have anything as extreme because of the smaller population. I decided to focus on plastics and how used we are the seeing them in our daily lives.
