Anthropocene: at MAST in Bologna, an exhibition to investigate man's imprint on the world

Anthropocene, the current exhibition at MAST in Bologna, is an art project that investigates the indelible human footprint on Earth through the images of Edward Burtynsky, Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier. Combining photography, film, augmented reality and scientific research, the three artists create a multimedia exploration that documents the changes brought about by human activity on the planet and bears witness to its effects on natural processes.

Open from May 16 through Oct. 6, Anthropocene aims to take the public on an epic journey around the world, showing the most profound signs of human action on the world.

Divided into four sections involving the spaces of MAST (1.PhotoGallery, 2.Foyer, 3.Gallery Level 0, 4.Auditorium) the exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the scope and significance of these radical transformations.

Anthropocene is curated by Urs Stahel, Sophie Hackett and Andrea Kunard and is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Canadian Photography Institute of the National Gallery of Canada in partnership with the MAST Foundation of Bologna.
