Charuwan Chanthop from 1PROJECTS in collaboration with Jeen Snidvongs from West Eden presents a group exhibition by three Thai artists - Pannaphan Yodmanee, Phornphop Sittiruk, and Prasert Yodkaew. In this exhibition, each of the artists show their perspective on the negative impact humanity has on us and our environment. They use different media such as painting, video art installation, and printings to show the impact of our inflictions such as war and pollution on Earth, other life forms, and finally thereby also on ourselves.
The Anthropocene, possibly the 39th epoch of planet Earth, is a proposed epoch when the effects of human activity started to have significant impacts on Earth's geology, landscape, limnology and ecosystems. Earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old, based on radiometric analysis of the oldest rocks found to date. The Anthropocene however, may have started only 73 years ago, according to the 37 researchers of the Anthropocene Working Group. Scientists have split opinions over whether the Anthropocene should be an ‘epoch’ or merely an ‘event’ in geological history. Scientific and public discussions about how best to describe the Anthropocene continue, only the profoundness of human impact is clear, while it remains to be seen how long this period may last.
