ANTHROPOCENE LEFTOVERS
2018, COPENHAGEN
Anthropocene LeftOvers is an 100m2 installation. It evolves a huge outgrowth, a sofa, a snack dispenser machine with goo, thick cables, a fridge with a frozen black liquid inside, and tools left on the floor.

about this work
‘Anthropocene LeftOvers’ is an extension of former works by Starck; ‘The Earth The Sewer’, ‘LeftOvers’ and ‘Before and After Ice Cream and Movie’. The installation consists of an ‘out growth’ whose surface is beige, rugged and sticky. In addition; the machine with its cool surface and constant hum. The organic growth is part of Starck's distinctive visual language, the uncontrollable expansion coming from the underground. Through residues from industrial production, material garbage and other remains, Starck shows us an imaginary urban underworld.
Starck addresses the idea of infrastructure as an underlying construction for urban life. Infrastructure in its many layers.
As a method of production or cultivation the infrastructure hides itself under the surface, away from the human eye. In Starck's installations, the door opens, we look behind the object and below the surface. And conversely, the formation underneath the surface is exposed.
