Anthropoid exhibition view at MYOM show at Somerset House London, July 2021.

We have become a major force driving the geo-physical change in our planet. Human-made materials now equal the weight of all life on Earth and within 10 years artificial matter will be twice as heavy as the natural one… 

“Anthropoid: Outweighed Life” explores future geophysical processes on Earth and draws a metaphorical connection to celestial bodies that hit the Earth in the past, introducing minerals, metals and energies, which humans have ceaselessly manipulated during the recent years. 

In conversation with a geologist, one of the originators of the Anthropocene concept Prof. Jan Zalasiewicz, the project probes into the future possibility for our present day coastline to preserve the Human time.
