Born to the Plastic Age

photography / performance / body / environment

Josephin — Born to the Plastic Age explores the fragile relationship between the human body, nature and the synthetic environment we have created.

Across the series, plastic gradually shifts from an object controlled by the body into a surrounding structure that obscures, contains and ultimately mediates the human figure itself.

The work reflects on the condition of being born into a world already transformed by synthetic materials and human intervention.
