Amalgamated Fragmentation / Plastisphere–Earth 1 - Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

In the anthropozoic period old and new matter merge to an unknown amalgamate through technical and biochemical interventions. Never-before-seen chemical and physical processes revolutionize our world, modify the molecular structure of soil, air and water, create new micro-organisms that irrevocably change life on earth. As soon as a demarcation between different materials is no longer possible, elements of animate and inanimate matter increasingly mix. A large part of these changes are supposedly caused by microplastics that meanwhile permeate earth, water and air. As the biosphere describes life on the earth's surface, the floating plastic waste that is by now colonized by organisms and represents a new marine ecosystem is called plastisphere. Since all lifeforms are dependent on water and microplastic has recently been proven both in the spring water of the Alps and in the human intestinal tract the cycle is closed and a change of DNA structures of all organic life is foreseeable.
