Garbage Films

The Garbage Films series explores perspectives and concepts surrounding traces of plastic waste and microplastics as tangible evidence of contemporary humanity within the framework of the Anthropocene. This concept underscores the profound ways human activity has altered Earth’s systems, including the contamination of sediments with plastics and microplastics—a phenomenon that challenges traditional ways of understanding environmental change.

My work is informed by Posthumanist theory, whcih interrogates the relationship between humans and other entities. It moves beyond the notion of humans as the sole agents shaping the world, instead recognizing a network of mutual influence that dissolves ontological, species, spatial, and epistemic boundaries. This interdisciplinary approach opens new possibilities for addressing contemporary environmental issues.

Through installation art, Garbage Films examines the relationship between humans and plastic. Inviting viewers to engage with works made from plastic waste, these pieces incorporate slide projectors, plastic waste films, and cyanotype printing, encouraging reflection on the interconnectedness of humanity and the synthetic materials that define our era.
