George Marazakis, born in 1976 in Creta Island, Greece, studied Mechanical Engineering and currently works for the Greek Ministry of Justice. However, he photographs the Anthropocene scene in rural, vacant areas that have been abandoned by society in his ‘A Cure for Anthropocene’ project. These areas are lost and forgotten about and become consumed, because of society extremely quickly progressing through time, that the area is not needed, although it still leaves a mark and impact on the environment around it, restricting growth and areas for ecosystems to thrive in.

His photographs show the pace at which the environment is damaged and how much damage is actually happening. He portrays the side of nature which is not right in from of us like pollution which is everywhere, his photos are in more excluded areas showing the degradation of our planet.

“If human civilization is in fact a disease, then it can also be the cure. But if the cure to the planet’s disease isn’t self-restriction, it will result in self-extermination. After all, the salvation of the planet is a different concept than the salvation of humanity.” – Marazakis
