OCEAN COSMETICS

A magnifying lens on the current development of ocean life in our age of the Antropozen, that has been declared by scientists around the 1980s, since when man-made artefacts are substantially influencing and irrreversibly merging with the organic substance of our planet.
After a storm, hundreds of hybrid objects were washed ashore the beaches of Thailand - showing the devastating plastic pollution but also offering a hopeful view on life's organic intelligence and resilience- plastic and organic matter having merged into seemingly new life forms - showing that nature is always and already integrating the debris of civilization and using the pollutant pieces as new breeding grounds for organic sea life.<< photography
