Christopher Whyte: Anthropocene - A Toy Story

Apr 1, 2023 to May 8, 2023

About

This powerful installation features over sixty gabions, each filled with thousands of discarded plastic toys. The work is a thought-provoking commentary on consumerism, consumption, and the spiralling habits of a wasteful society that often begin in childhood.

The sheer scale of Anthropocene challenges viewers to rethink our relationship with the environment and the impact of our choices on the world around us, inviting us to reflect on our own relationship with consumer culture and the impact it has on the planet. Christopher Whyte’s Anthropocene draws attention to the throwaway culture that has become so prevalent in our society and highlights the urgent need for change
