englischIn this book, Peter Krieger creates a political iconography of the Anthropocene: he shows how, with the help of optical forensics, an exploration of the history of ideas and a scientific interpretation of images, it is possible to understand what prompts people to abuse wild nature as a dumping ground for rubbish.

His micro-historical study of a waste-contaminated nature reserve in Mexico City exemplifies how waste has become a new geological layer of the Anthropocene. The precise analysis of this globally representative scene of an environmental crime is also the basis for the elaboration of a realistic utopia for rethinking and changing our destructive treatment of nature.

 

"An important book, a stirring book - which horrifies and at the same time opens up perspectives for alternative action."

Jürgen Goldstein

»Peter Kriegers Reflexionen zu den Ästhetiken von Müll in der Natur leisten grundlegende Arbeit in der Verbindung von naturwissenschaftlich-soziologischen Ansätzen mit solchen der Kunstgeschichte, der Kulturwissenschaften und der Ästhetik und zeigen die Dringlichkeit einer ästhetischen Betrachtung realer Landschaftskontaminierung auf.«
Miriam Oesterreich, arthist.net Mai 2024
