For those of you with high levels of mercury in your urine…
who are picking the microbeads from the gaps in your teeth...
who are buried under piles of your own recycling…
who feel the plastic rupturing an intestine or two…
who are plastic from the inside out…
...let the ocean currents pull you away to our home-made trash island.
THIS FANTASTIC PLASTIC PLANET is a surreal exploration of how information about climate change is distributed, curated and received. It follows three character's relationship to the global climate disaster. You will find a girl lost in billboards and TV screens, apex predators and a scientist in touch with his feelings.
