Claiming Earth - lost in the scale of anthropocentrism

Claiming Earth - lost in the scale of anthropocentrism is an investigation into the relation between man and earth in the modern western society. Humans have a mesmerizing impact that mostly is beyond comprehension. This research project focuses on the vast scales of colonisation and excavation on a horizontal and vertical scale. Through mixed media storytelling it outlays the ungraspability of scale and absurdity of land ownership.
