NewFossilsAR

“New Fossils is an analogue and digital installation, and stems from the project Cartography of the Stain made for the festival City to City: Human Responsibility. It makes a comparison to make the public aware of the differences and similarities between the city of Guadalajara (Mexico) and Karlsruhe (Germany), starting from the macro perspective of the cities to the micro issues of everyday life. New Fossils is a reflection on the footprints humans have left on the planet. These have had consequences on the environment. The term Anthropocene, coined in the mid-1970s, refers to a suggested epoch of geological time that replaces the Holocene and highlights the significant impact of human activity on the Earth. This concept makes us rethink the journey of humans on this planet in both biological and psychological terms.”
