MICROPLASTICS II, 2016
Diasec
120 x 80 cm

My work MICROPLASTICS II is currently used in the wonderful project IN YOUR FACE by Ocean.Now! for the campaign “Ban Microplastics in Cosmetics and Cleaning Products”.

“In Your Face” is a media-driven collective project with participants from around the world. Over a period of 3 months, ocean lovers collected microplastic samples that are now shown symbolically in the shape of a “beauty mask” on “known faces”. The bloody nose stands for the destructive character of microplastics. Our collective wave of resistance aims at sending a clear message: It’s time to finally ban microplastics in cosmetics and cleaning products. It’s time for us humans to look ourselves in the eye.” (Ocean.Now!)
