Description:
I started working on The Human Foodprint in 2011 when i realized how immense is the variety of plastic packaging used to contain the food we eat. Almost everything is packed in plastic containers that we trashed as quick as we eat the food inside. These packaging have hundreds of shapes and are designed by people who spend time creating these plastic objects that have a very short life but a huge impact on the planet. The artwork is made of n° pieces of plaster from different plastic packaging, using the packaging itself as molds to create a solid replica of the packaging by giving it an immortal and dramatic phisycal presence. The sequence of pieces are hand painted with the attempt to create a three dimensional wall paper or a contemporary stucco.
