Humming top with a blue base and a red handle filled with plastic objects of different size and colour such as cigarette lighters, toys and bottle caps. The objects were swallowed by an albatross chick. The body of the humming top is transparent so the objects are visible.
I made this work in 2012. I filled a humming top with plastic objects found in the stomach of one albatross chick on Kure Atoll (Northwestern Hawaiian islands). 340 g. Cigarette lighters, plastic fragments, toys and mainly bottle caps.
There is a reason why the lids no longer come off the bottles!

A man wearing light-blue swimming trunks lies under a green-blue paddling pool for kids. The pool ist filled with water in which water lilies made of plastic are floating. The pool stands on a meadow.
I can´t believe that I am still doing this sht!
In 2006, which is almost 20 years ago now, I started to work on the #plasticcrisis. This is one of my first works. It is 20 freaking years now and we don´t even know if the final round of the #plastictreaty negotiations will get us anywhere.

Postcard of the Swiss village Blatten in winter. The village was cut out and lies next to the postcard. Both the card and the cropped fragments are placed on a blue underlay.
In my series "Crevasse" I usually remove glaciers from postcards to show the void that their melting causes in the topography and our collective memory. Since the collapse of the Birch #Glacier which buried the village of #Blatten everything changed: I now also remove the villages from the cards.

We see a woman with a red scarf and a green cleaning smock sitting on a rock on the beach scrubbing the rock with a brush. She ist leaning over to reach the lower part of the rock. She is wearing yellow gloves, next to her stands a blue bucket. The rock she is sitting on ist surrounded by water.
HAPPY WORLD OCEAN DAY!

Eine bearbeitete Nachrichtenschlagzeile mit einem Bild von Schiffen auf einem flachen Fluss. Die ursprüngliche Überschrift lautete „Niedriger Rhein-Pegel bedroht deutsche Wirtschaft“, wobei „Niedriger Rhein-Pegel“ durchgestrichen und durch „Klimakrise“ ersetzt wurde. Darüber steht in kleiner roter Schrift: „Und kaum Regen in Sicht“. Im Hintergrund sieht man einen niedrigen Wasserstand mit Sandbänken, die aus dem Fluss ragen.
Fixed it for you, @Bild.

Today is the first WORLD DAY OF GLACIERS
Therefore I will share another work of my series "Crevasse" in which
images of #glaciers found on photographs, postcards etc. were cut out and preserved.

Millionen Frauen in der #Ukraine 🇺🇦 müssen leiden, haben ihr zu Hause verloren, trauern um Ehemänner,Väter, Brüder,Schwiegersöhne, weil der Wahnsinnige aus dem Kreml ihre Heimat in ein Meer aus Blut und Tränen verwandelt hat!
Auch daran sei am #Weltfrauentag #Frauentag erinnert!

It was such an honour to collaborate with @ksvenenvig.bsky.social and Steve Hicks and the other scientists involved that it took to write this paper which I used as a starting point for my latest conceptual Christmas Card 🎄. Thank you RIFS Potsdam, Studio von Fuchs & Lommatzsch for making it happen!
