2022 Edition

Relics of Plastic Era were created to educate, raise awareness about the problem and express protest against littering the natural environment. They are a manifesto of our legacy: made of the material that will survive us the longest. Relics of Plastic Era are a set of objects: figures made of weights and a foil calendar. The figures, compiled on the basis of statistics, show differences in how we treat plastic bags from supermarkets in various parts of Europe and in which countries we take care to use them as little as possible, and where this problem is still underestimated. The calendar presents 200 plastic bags pressed into cubes and used for one year. By presenting data concerning various European countries, this project makes us aware that we should show solidarity in solving a common problem and learn from each other. Starting with ourselves, in our everyday and independent actions, we have a huge impact on how the world around us will look in the future.
