Me & Anthropocene

I did some research and found a book named Art in the Anthropocene. 

In the book, it said The Anthropocene era implies not a new image of the world, but the transformation of the world into images. (p135)

So I decided to create a series of photo.

In my project, the first two pictures are the weather I took in my home in Beijing. I want to show the fog and haze in our lives. The third one is the three bags with a nose on it, which I was thinking about that if there has no clean air in China, people will sell the fresh air from other country to China. For the forth picture, I light a candle and use the cup to cover it. So when the oxygen in the cup was gone, there would have different pressure outside the cup and inside the cup. So the cup will shrink. I want to through this process to show people how we struggle and being stifle under the Chinese air pollution. The last picture, I want to use the puppet to show the action of a person who is restricted by the fog and haze.

In conclusion, my project is to show the bad quality of air in China, in order to call forth people to pay attention on the weather.
