Dutch sculptor Isabelle Andriessen envisions how geologic and inorganic materials will persist after humans have gone extinct.
Andriessen re-creates enchanting mineral and sulfate deposits in installations that imagine planet Earth after our species has perished.
The artist asks us to acknowledge the vibrancy of various materials as the Anthropocene lays bare how life and nonlife are deeply entangled.
Work by Isabelle Andriessen is on view in the group exhibition “Twilight Land” at Moderna Museet, Malmö, Sweden, through Apr. 9, 2023.
