Art Installation, 2022.


The installation Remains of the Anthropocene is an "archaeological collection" of excavated aluminium, plastic and other discarded objects from a former wild dump. It refers to the current "Age of Man" and its significant impact on the environment. In the face of pollution, climate change and nuclear threat, the catastrophic nature and its inherent irreversibility inscribed in the installation no longer seem impossible. The work is about the existence and destruction of a civilisation that is increasingly unable to cope with the risks it creates from the depths of the oceans to the remotest corners of the world and the atmosphere, threatening itself and the planet as a whole. Part of the installation are photos of the excavation of a wild rubbish dump covered with a layer of soil that the artist came across in her garden, as well as a link to the register of wild rubbish dumps that has been compiled by the Ecologists Without Borders Association since 2009. The register, with more than 15,000 sites, is the only collection that reflects the state of illegal dumping in Slovenia. According to 2018 data, there is still more than 230,000 m³ of waste in the wild, including much hazardous waste.
